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

A structural disparity of the subsumption relationship between FMA and SNOMED CT's Body Structure sub-hierarchy is that while the is-a relation in FMA has a tree structure, the corresponding relation in Body Structure is not even a lattice. This paper introduces a method called NEO, for non-lattice embedding of FMA fragments into the Body Structure sub-hierarchy to understand (1) this structural disparity, and (2) its potential utility in analyzing non-lattice fragments in SNOMED CT. NEO consists of four steps. First, transitive, upper- and down-closures are computed for FMA and SNOMED CT using MapReduce, a modern scalable distributed computing technique. Secondly, UMLS mappings between FMA and SNOMED CT concepts are used to identify equivalent concepts in non-lattice fragments from Body Structure. Then, non-lattice fragments in the Body Structure sub-hierarchy are extracted, and FMA concepts matching those in the non-lattice fragments are used as the seeds to generate the corresponding FMA fragments. Lastly, the corresponding FMA fragments are embedded to the non-lattice fragments for comparative visualization and analysis. After identifying 8,428 equivalent concepts between the collection of over 30,000 concepts in Body Structure and the collection of over 83,000 concepts in FMA using UMLS equivalent concept mappings, 2,117 shared is-a relations and 5,715 mismatched relations were found. Among Body Structure's 90,465 non-lattice fragments, 65,968 (73%) contained one or more is-a relations that are in SNOMED CT but not in FMA, even though they have equivalent source and target concepts. This shows that SNOMED CT may be more liberal in classifying a relation as is-a, a potential explanation for the fragments not conforming to the lattice property.
