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

Clinical notes provide a comprehensive and overall impression of the patient's health. However, the automatic extraction of information within these notes is challenging due to their narrative style. In this context, our goal was to identify clusters of patients based on fourteen comorbidities related to obesity, automatically extracted with the cTAKES tool from the i2b2 Obesity Challenge data. Furthermore, results were compared with clusters obtained from experts' annotated data. The sparse K-means algorithms were used in both experiment at two levels: at the first level, three clusters were found, and at the second, new clusters were found by applying the same algorithm to each of the clusters from the former level. The results show that three types of clusters could be identified based on the number of comorbidities and the percentage of patients suffering from them. Diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, congestive heart failure, obstructive sleep apnea, and depression were the diseases with the highest weights contributing to the cluster distribution.
