NCBI E-utility to Find Shortest Citation Path Between Two Publications

I'm trying to perform a thorough review of Hi-C and RNAi developments and have found myself looking at publication A (2011) and publication B (2015). B doesn't cite A explicitly but I'm sure there are papers linking the two and I'd like to find them. Are there existing utilities to help with this? I've used NCBI E-utilities in the past but would prefer not to rewrite an application that already exists.

I played with neo4j and pubmed in 2010: http://plindenbaum.blogspot.fr/2010/02/path-from-egonwillighagen-to-jandot.html but it required to load a bunch of articles.
