"Family Tree" of Theorems

Is anyone aware of any attempt to describe the dependencies of theorems (perhaps in mathematics generally, perhaps in some limited areas) in the form of a "family tree"? That is, each node on the tree might correspond to a theorem, and branches would indicate dependencies between theorems? I realize that this would not constitute an actual tree -- as there can exist loops -- but this sort of meta-description of theorems might provide some insight not available in other manners.
