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

We present a system for automatically identifying a multitude of biomedical entities from the literature. This work is based on our previous efforts in the BioCreative VI: Interactive Bio-ID Assignment shared task in which our system demonstrated state-of-the-art performance with the highest achieved results in named entity recognition. In this paper we describe the original conditional random field-based system used in the shared task as well as experiments conducted since, including better hyperparameter tuning and character level modeling, which led to further performance improvements. For normalizing the mentions into unique identifiers we use fuzzy character n-gram matching. The normalization approach has also been improved with a better abbreviation resolution method and stricter guideline compliance resulting in vastly improved results for various entity types. All tools and models used for both named entity recognition and normalization are publicly available under open license.Database URL: https://github.com/TurkuNLP/BioCreativeVI_BioID_assignment.
