Slot: applied_to_treat (multivalued)

Description: Holds between an substance, procedure, or activity and a medical condition, and reports that the substance, procedure, or activity was actually taken by one or more patients with the intent of treating the condition.
Aliases: administered to treat, used to treat, given to treat

Notes: This predicate is used simply to report observations of use in the real world, and is agnostic to whether the treatment is approved for or might be effective in treating the condition. The treatment could be taken by a patient on their own accord or prescribed by a clinician, as an off-label or an approved intervention. In practice, it would be used to represent records/statements from patient self-reporting sources like FAERS / AEOLUS where patients directly report the condition for which they took a drug, or statements from a database cataloging instances of off-label prescription of drugs for specific conditions (e.g. here, here, here).
