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

Mappings between ontologies enable reuse and interoperability of biomedical knowledge. The Radiology Gamuts Ontology (RGO)-an ontology of 16 918 diseases, interventions, and imaging observations-provides a resource for differential diagnosis and automated textual report understanding in radiology. An automated process with subsequent manual review was used to identify exact and partial matches of RGO entities to the Disease Ontology (DO) and the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO). Exact mappings identified equivalent concepts; partial mappings identified subclass and superclass relationships. A total of 7913 distinct RGO entities (46.8%) were mapped to one or both of the two target ontologies. Integration of RGO's causal knowledge resulted in 9605 axioms that expressed direct causal relationships between DO diseases and HPO phenotypic abnormalities, and allowed one to formulate queries about causal relations using the abstraction properties in those two ontologies. The mappings can be used to support automated diagnostic reasoning, data mining, and knowledge discovery.
