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 propose to use segment graph convolutional and recurrent neural networks (Seg-GCRNs), which use only word embedding and sentence syntactic dependencies, to classify relations from clinical notes without manual feature engineering. In this study, the relations between 2 medical concepts are classified by simultaneously learning representations of text segments in the context of sentence syntactic dependency: preceding, concept1, middle, concept2, and succeeding segments. Seg-GCRN was systematically evaluated on the i2b2/VA relation classification challenge datasets. Experiments show that Seg-GCRN attains state-of-the-art micro-averaged F-measure for all 3 relation categories: 0.692 for classifying medical treatment-problem relations, 0.827 for medical test-problem relations, and 0.741 for medical problem-medical problem relations. Comparison with the previous state-of-the-art segment convolutional neural network (Seg-CNN) suggests that adding syntactic dependency information helps refine medical word embedding and improves concept relation classification without manual feature engineering. Seg-GCRN can be trained efficiently for the i2b2/VA dataset on a GPU platform.
