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

Text de-identification is an application of clinical natural language processing that offers significant efficiency and scalability advantages. Hence, various learning algorithms have been applied to this task to yield better performance. Instead of choosing the best individual learning algorithm, we aim to improve de-identification by constructing ensembles that lead to more accurate classification. We present three different ensemble methods that combine multiple de-identification models trained from deep learning, shallow learning, and rule-based approaches. Each model is capable of automated de-identification without manual medical expertise. Our experimental results show that the stacked learning ensemble is more effective than other ensemble methods, producing the highest recall, the most important metric for de-identification. The stacked ensemble achieved state-of-the-art performance on the 2014 i2b2 dataset with 97.04% precision, 94.45% recall, and 95.73% F
