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

objectivesTo compare the alignments of two large anatomical ontologies (the Foundational Model of Anatomy and GALEN) produced by three ontology alignment systems (AOAS, FALCON and PRIOR) in the framework of the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative during its 2006 campaign. MATERIALS: Number of mappings identified by AOAS: 3,132, FALCON: 2,518 and PRIOR: 2,589.

methodsThree approaches to analyzing and comparing the results were utilized: computing the overlap among result files, manual review of some 2,000 mappings and structural validation.

conclusionsThe generic systems FALCON and PRIOR identify many false positives and false negatives. With a stricter and domain-specific lexical similarity model, AOAS has a better precision, but is more sensitive to missing synonyms and misspellings.
