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

Drug misuse may happen when patients do not follow the prescriptions and do actions which lead to potentially harmful situations, such as intakes of incorrect dosage (overuse or underuse) or drug use for indications different from those prescribed. Although such situations are dangerous, patients usually do not report the misuse of drugs to their physicians. Hence, other sources of information are necessary for studying these issues. We assume that online health fora can provide such information and propose to exploit them. The general purpose of our work is the automatic detection and classification of drug misuses by analysing user-generated data in French social media. To this end, we propose a multi-step method, the main steps of which are: (1) indexing of messages with extended vocabulary adapted to social media writing; (2) creation of typology of drug misuses; and (3) automatic classification of messages according to whether they contain drug misuses or not. We present the results obtained at different steps and discuss them. The proposed method permit to detect the misuses with up to 0.773 F-measure.
