1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Recently, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) has received growing attention as a simple but flexible mechanism to represent medical data. As XML-based markups become more common there will be an increasing need to transform data stored in one XML markup into another markup. The Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) is a stylesheet language for XML. Development of a new mammography reporting system created a need to convert XML output from the MEDLee natural language processing system into a format suitable for cross-patient reporting. This paper examines the capability of XSL as a rule specification language that supports the medical XML data transformation. A set of nine relevant transformations was identified: Filtering, Substitution, Specification, Aggregation, Merging, Splitting, Transposition, Push-down and Pull-up. XSL-based methods for implementing these transformations are presented. The strengths and limitations of XSL are discussed in the context of XML medical data transformation.
