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

An important task in pharmacogenomics (PGx) studies is to identify genetic variants that may impact drug response. The success of many systematic and integrative computational approaches for PGx studies depends on the availability of accurate, comprehensive and machine understandable drug-gene relationship knowledge bases. Scientific literature is one of the most comprehensive knowledge sources for PGx-specific drug-gene relationships. However, the major barrier in accessing this information is that the knowledge is buried in a large amount of free text with limited machine understandability. Therefore there is a need to develop automatic approaches to extract structured PGx-specific drug-gene relationships from unstructured free text literature. In this study, we have developed a conditional relationship extraction approach to extract PGx-specific drug-gene pairs from 20 million MEDLINE abstracts using known drug-gene pairs as prior knowledge. We have demonstrated that the conditional drug-gene relationship extraction approach significantly improves the precision and F1 measure compared to the unconditioned approach (precision: 0.345 vs. 0.11; recall: 0.481 vs. 1.00; F1: 0.402 vs. 0.201). In this study, a method based on co-occurrence is used as the underlying relationship extraction method for its simplicity. It can be replaced by or combined with more advanced methods such as machine learning or natural language processing approaches to further improve the performance of the drug-gene relationship extraction from free text. Our method is not limited to extracting a drug-gene relationship; it can be generalized to extract other types of relationships when related background knowledge bases exist.
