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

Comparative biological studies have led to remarkable biomedical discoveries. While genomic science and technologies are advancing rapidly, our ability to precisely specify a phenotype and compare it to related phenotypes of other organisms remains challenging. This study has examined the systematic use of terminology and knowledge based technologies to enable high-throughput comparative phenomics. More specifically, we measured the accuracy of a multi-strategy automated classification method to bridge the phenotype gap between a phenotypic terminology (MGD: Phenoslim) and a broad-coverage clinical terminology (SNOMED CT). Furthermore, we qualitatively evaluate the additional emerging properties of the combined terminological network for comparative biology and discovery science. According to the gold standard (n = 100), the accuracies (precision / recall) of the composite automated methods were 67% / 97% (mapping for identical concepts) and 85% / 98% (classification). Quantitatively, only 2% of the phenotypic concepts were missing from the clinical terminology, however, qualitatively the gap was larger: conceptual scope, granularity and subtle yet significant, homonymy problems were observed. These results suggest that, as observed in other domains, additional strategies are required for combining terminologies.
