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

Data on safety and efficacy issues associated with natural health products and dietary supplements (NHP&S) remains largely cloistered within domain specific databases or embedded within general biomedical data sources. A major challenge in leveraging analytic approaches on such data is due to the inefficient ability to retrieve relevant data, which includes a general lack of interoperability among related sources. This study developed a thesaurus of NHP&S ingredient terms that can be used by existing biomedical natural language processing (NLP) tools for extracting information of interest. This process was evaluated relative to intervention name strings sampled from the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). A use case was used to demonstrate the potential to utilize FAERS for monitoring NHP&S adverse events. The results from this study provide insights on approaches for identifying additional knowledge from extant repositories of knowledge, and potentially as information that can be included into larger curation efforts.
