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

Identifying rare but significant healthcare events in massive unstructured datasets has become a common task in healthcare data analytics. However, imbalanced class distribution in many practical datasets greatly hampers the detection of rare events, as most classification methods implicitly assume an equal occurrence of classes and are designed to maximize the overall classification accuracy. In this study, we develop a framework for learning healthcare data with imbalanced distribution via incorporating different rebalancing strategies. The evaluation results showed that the developed framework can significantly improve the detection accuracy of medical incidents due to look-alike sound-alike (LASA) mix-ups. Specifically, logistic regression combined with the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) produces the best detection results, with a significant 45.3% increase in recall (recall = 75.7%) compared with pure logistic regression (recall = 52.1%).
