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

Gene symbol disambiguation is an important problem for biomedical text mining systems. When detecting gene symbols in MEDLINE citations one of the biggest challenges is the fact that many gene symbols also denote other, more general biomedical concepts (e.g. CT, MR). Our approach to this problem is first to classify the citations into genetic and non-genetic domains and then to detect gene symbols only in the genetic domain. We used ontological information provided by Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) for this classification task. The proposed algorithm is fast and is able to process the full MEDLINE distribution in a few hours. It achieves predictive accuracy of 0.91. The algorithm is currently implemented in the BITOLA literature-based discovery support system (http://www.mf.uni-lj.si/bitola/).
