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

Unstructured data from electronic health records hold potential for improving predictive models for health outcomes. Efforts to extract structured information from the unstructured data used text mining methodologies, such as topic modeling and sentiment analysis. However, such methods do not account for abbreviations. Nursing notes have valuable information about nurses' assessments and interventions, and the abbreviation use is common. Thus, abbreviation disambiguation may add more insight when using unstructured text for predictive modeling. We present a new process to extract structured information from nursing notes through abbreviation normalization, lemmatization, and stop word removal. Our study found that abbreviation disambiguation in nursing notes for subsequent topic modeling and sentiment analysis improved prediction of in-hospital and 30-day mortality while controlling for comorbidity.
