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

Though there have been many advances in providing access to linked and integrated biomedical data across repositories, developing methods which allow users to specify ambiguous and exploratory queries over disparate sources remains a challenge to extracting well-curated or diversely-supported biological information. In the following work, we discuss the concepts of data coverage and evidence in the context of integrated sources. We address diverse information retrieval via a simple framework for representing coverage and evidence that operates in parallel with an arbitrary schema, and a language upon which queries on the schema and framework may be executed. We show that this approach is capable of answering questions that require ranged levels of evidence or triangulation, and demonstrate that appropriately-formed queries can significantly improve the level of precision when retrieving well-supported biomedical data.
