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

Motivation: The fundamental challenge of modern genetic analysis is to establish gene-phenotype correlations that are often found in the large-scale publications. Because lexical features of gene are relatively regular in text, the main challenge of these relation extraction is phenotype recognition. Due to phenotypic descriptions are often study- or author-specific, few lexicon can be used to effectively identify the entire phenotypic expressions in text, especially for plants. Results: We have proposed a pipeline for extracting phenotype, gene and their relations from biomedical literature. Combined with abbreviation revision and sentence template extraction, we improved the unsupervised word-embedding-to-sentence-embedding cascaded approach as representation learning to recognize the various broad phenotypic information in literature. In addition, the dictionary- and rule-based method was applied for gene recognition. Finally, we integrated one of famous information extraction system OLLIE to identify gene-phenotype relations. To demonstrate the applicability of the pipeline, we established two types of comparison experiment using model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. In the comparison of state-of-the-art baselines, our approach obtained the best performance (F1-Measure of 66.83%). We also applied the pipeline to 481 full-articles from TAIR gene-phenotype manual relationship dataset to prove the validity. The results showed that our proposed pipeline can cover 70.94% of the original dataset and add 373 new relations to expand it.

Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
