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

De-identification of clinical notes is a special case of named entity recognition. Supervised machine-learning (ML) algorithms have achieved promising results for this task. However, ML-based de-identification systems often require annotating a large number of clinical notes of interest, which is costly. Domain adaptation (DA) is a technology that enables learning from annotated datasets from different sources, thereby reducing annotation cost required for ML training in the target domain. In this study, we investigate the use of DA methods for deidentification of psychiatric notes. Three state-of-the-art DA methods: instance pruning, instance weighting, and feature augmentation are applied to three source corpora of annotated hospital discharge summaries, outpatient notes, and a mixture of different note types written for diabetic patients. Our results show that DA can increase deidentification performance over the baselines, indicating that it can effectively reduce annotation cost for the target psychiatric notes. Feature augmentation is shown to increase performance the most among the three DA methods. Performance variation among the different types of clinical notes is also observed, showing that a mixture of different types of notes brings the biggest increase in performance.
