Drug
Names and IDs as ChEMBL gives them, through Open Targets.
Targets0
The targets ChEMBL's mechanism records give for the drug, through Open Targets. A mechanism record says what the drug acts on, not how strongly.
None in this release.
Diseases20
The diseases Open Targets' clinical reports study the drug for, the most trial reports first. The stage is Open Targets', the highest any of its sources reports for the pair, and each row names the sources that report it.

Trials whose record names the drug by a name ChEMBL states, posted results first, then the largest. Open Targets read each trial's text to find its drugs. 1 more rests on that reading alone and is shown because the trial's posted result groups or NLM's indexing of its papers name the drug. 1 more that Open Targets linked to it is not shown, since the release's checks do not confirm it.
