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

Crucial information on a patient's physical or mental conditions is provided by mentions of disorders, such as disease, syndrome, injury, and abnormality. Identifying disorder mentions is one of the most significant steps in clinical text analysis. However, there are many surface forms of the same concept documented in clinical notes. Some are even recorded disjointedly, briefly, or intuitively. Such difficulties have challenged the information extraction systems that focus on identifying explicit mentions. In this study, we proposed a hybrid approach to disorder extraction, which leverages supervised machine learning, rule-based annotation, and an unsupervised NLP system. To identify different surface forms, we exploited rich features, especially the semantic, syntactic, and sequential features, for better capturing implicit relationships among words. We evaluated our method on the CLEF 2013 eHealth dataset. The experiments showed that our hybrid approach achieves a 0.776 F-score under strict evaluation standards, outperforming any participating systems in the Challenge.
