Quality Assurance of NCI Thesaurus by Mining Structural-Lexical Patterns.

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.
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
Quality assurance of biomedical terminologies such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Thesaurus is an essential part of the terminology management lifecycle. We investigate a structural-lexical approach based on non-lattice subgraphs to automatically identify missing hierarchical relations and missing concepts in the NCI Thesaurus. We mine six structural-lexical patterns exhibiting in non-lattice subgraphs: containment, union, intersection, union-intersection, inference-contradiction, and inference union. Each pattern indicates a potential specific type of error and suggests a potential type of remediation. We found 809 non-lattice subgraphs with these patterns in the NCI Thesaurus (version 16.12d). Domain experts evaluated a random sample of 50 small non-lattice subgraphs, of which 33 were confirmed to contain errors and make correct suggestions (33/50 = 66%). Of the 25 evaluated subgraphs revealing multiple patterns, 22 were verified correct (22/25 = 88%). This shows the effectiveness of our structurallexical-pattern-based approach in detecting errors and suggesting remediations in the NCI Thesaurus.
