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

backgroundThis feasibility study of text-mining-based scoring algorithm provides an objective comparison of structured reports (SR) and conventional free-text reports (cFTR) by means of guideline-based key terms. Furthermore, an open-source online version of this ranking algorithm was provided with multilingual text-retrieval pipeline, customizable query and real-time-scoring. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-five patients with suspected stroke and magnetic resonance imaging were re-assessed by two independent/blinded readers [inexperienced: 3 years; experienced >6 years/Board-certified). SR and cFTR were compared with guideline-query using the cosine similarity score (CSS) and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

resultsAll pathological findings (18/18) were identified by SR and cFTR. The impressions section of the SRs of the inexperienced reader had the highest median (0.145) and maximal (0.214) CSS and were rated significantly higher (p=2.21×10

conclusionObjective guideline-based comparison of SRs and cFTRs using the CSS is feasible and provides a scalable quality measure that can facilitate the adoption of structured reports in all fields of radiology.
