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

This paper describes a machine learning, text processing approach that allows the extraction of key medical information from unstructured text in Electronic Medical Records. The approach utilizes a novel text representation that shares the simplicity of the widely used bag-of-words representation, but can also represent some form of semantic information in the text. The large dimensionality of this type of learning models is controlled by the use of a ℓ(1) regularization to favor parsimonious models. Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of the approach in extracting medical assertions that can be associated to polarity and relevance detection.
