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

Phylogeography research involving virus spread and tree reconstruction relies on accurate geographic locations of infected hosts. Insufficient level of geographic information in nucleotide sequence repositories such as GenBank motivates the use of natural language processing methods for extracting geographic location names (toponyms) in the scientific article associated with the sequence, and disambiguating the locations to their co-ordinates. In this paper, we present an extensive study of multiple recurrent neural network architectures for the task of extracting geographic locations and their effective contribution to the disambiguation task using population heuristics. The methods presented in this paper achieve a strict detection F1 score of 0.94, disambiguation accuracy of 91% and an overall resolution F1 score of 0.88 that are significantly higher than previously developed methods, improving our capability to find the location of infected hosts and enrich metadata information.
