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

Increasing learning ability from massive medical data and building learning methods robust to data quality issues are key factors toward building data-driven clinical decision support systems for medicine prescription decision support. Here, we attempted accordingly to address the factors using a multi-task neural network approach, benefiting from multi-task learning's advantage in modeling commonalities to increase learning performance and neural network's robustness to imprecise data. By mining electronic health record data, we learned medicine prescription patterns of multiple correlated antidiabetic agents in blood glucose control and antihypertensive drugs in blood pressure control scenarios. We achieved AUC increases of 0.02 to 0.06 in single drug prescription and an accuracy increase of 0.05 in prescription pattern prediction compared to logistic regression, demonstrating the efficacy of multi-task neural network approach in learning medicine prescription patterns.
