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

Bar charts are crucial to summarize and present multi-faceted data sets in biomedical publications. Quantitative information carried by bar charts is of great interest to scientists and practitioners, which make it valuable to parse bar charts. This fact together with the abundance of bar chart images and their shared common patterns gives us a good candidates for automated image mining and parsing. We demonstrate a workflow to analyze bar charts and give a few feasible solutions to apply it. We are able to detect bar segments and panels with a promising performance in terms of both accuracy and recall, and we also perform extensive experiments to identify the entities of bar charts in the images of biomedical literature collected from PubMed Central. While we cannot provide a complete instance of the application using our method, we present evidence that this kind of image mining is feasible.
