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

We describe a system that automatically extracts biological events from biomedical journal articles, and translates those events into Biological Expression Language (BEL) statements. The system incorporates existing text mining components for coreference resolution, biological event extraction and a previously formally untested strategy for BEL statement generation. Although addressing the BEL track (Track 4) at BioCreative V (2015), we also investigate how incorporating coreference resolution might impact event extraction in the biomedical domain. In this paper, we report that our system achieved the best performance of 20.2 and 35.2 in F-score for the full BEL statement level on both stage 1, and stage 2 using provided gold standard entities, respectively. We also report that our results evaluated on the training dataset show benefit from integrating coreference resolution with event extraction.
