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

Systematic reviews (SR) are an important and labor-intensive part of the Evidence-based Medicine process that could benefit from automated literature classification tools. We conducted a prospective study of a support vector machine-based classifier for supporting the SR literature triage process. Over 50,000 training data samples were collected for 18 topics prior to March 2008, and used to make predictions on 11,000 test data samples collected during the subsequent two years. Test performance (AUC) was comparable to that estimated by cross-validation on the training set, and ranging from 0.75 - 0.99. Mean AUC macro-averaged across all topics was 0.89, demonstrating that these methods can achieve accurate results in near-real world conditions and are promising tools for deployment to groups conducting SRs.
