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

Patients often search for information on the web about treatments and diseases after they are discharged from the hospital. However, searching for medical information on the web poses challenges due to related terms and synonymy for the same disease and treatment. In this paper, we present a method that combines Statistical Topics Models, Language Models and Natural Language Processing to retrieve healthcare related documents. In addition, we test if the incorporation of terms extracted from the patient's discharge summary improves the retrieval performance. We show that the proposed framework outperformed the winner of the retrieval CLEF eHealth 2013 challenge by 68% in the MAP measure (0:5226 vs 0:3108), and by 13% in NDCG (0:5202 vs 0:3637). Compared with standard language models, we obtain an improvement of 92% in MAP (0:2666) and 45% in NDCG. (0:3637).
