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

WHO-ART and MedDRA are the terminologies used in pharmacovigilance for coding of adverse drug reactions and statistical analysis. In previous work we showed that tools for automated signal detection and access to pharmacovigilance databases would benefit from terminological reasoning in order to provide improved groupings of terms describing the same medical condition. Such reasoning depends on formal definitions that are absent in both terminologies. A Categorial structure is defined as a minimal set of health care domain constraints which represents a biomedical terminology in a precise healthcare domain. Here we present a draft for a lite ontological model consisting in 19 semantic categories and 16 relations for the representation of adverse drug reactions. From this model we selected 8 semantic categories for the categorial structure. This study was restricted to WHO-ART and additional research is required in order to provide complete coverage of MedDRA.
