Leveraging Horizontal Density Differences between Ontologies to Identify Missing Child Concepts: A Proof of Concept.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Previously, we investigated pairs of ontologies with local similarities where corresponding "is-a" paths are of different lengths. This indicated the possibility of importing concepts from one ontology into the other. We referred to such structures as diamonds of concepts. In this paper, we address the question whether pairs of identical concepts in pairs of ontologies have the same children in both. Separate reviews of SNOMED CT and NCIt relative to eight other ontologies uncovered differences in child sets. We provide quantitative data concerning these differences. In cases where there are many identical children in two ontologies, the questions arise why one has more children and whether these children are "missing" in the other ontology. We performed randomized controlled trials in which a human expert evaluated the "fit for import" of such potentially missing child concepts. In two out of four studies, statistical significance was achieved in support of algorithmic import.
