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

backgroundWith the rapid spread of electronic medical records and the arrival of medical big data era, the application of natural language processing technology in biomedicine has become a hot research topic.

methodsIn this paper, firstly, BiLSTM-CRF model is applied to medical named entity recognition on Chinese electronic medical record. According to the characteristics of Chinese electronic medical records, obtain the low-dimensional word vector of each word in units of sentences. And then input the word vector to BiLSTM to realize automatic extraction of sentence features. And then CRF performs sentence-level word tagging. Secondly, attention mechanism is added between the BiLSTM and the CRF to construct Attention-BiLSTM-CRF model, which can leverage document-level information to alleviate tagging inconsistency. In addition, this paper proposes an entity auto-correct algorithm to rectify entities according to historical entity information. At last, a drug dictionary and post-processing rules are well-built to rectify entities, to further improve performance.

resultsThe final F1 scores of the BiLSTM-CRF and Attention-BiLSTM-CRF model on given test dataset are 90.15 and 90.82% respectively, both of which are higher than 89.26%, which is the best F1 score on the test dataset except ours.

conclusionOur approach can be used to recognize medical named entity on Chinese electronic medical records and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the given test dataset.
