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

In this paper, we investigate the task of spatial role labeling for extracting spatial relations from chest X-ray reports. Previous works have shown the usefulness of incorporating syntactic information in extracting spatial relations. We propose syntax-enhanced word representations in addition to word and character embeddings for extracting radiologyspecific spatial roles. We utilize a bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) conditional random field (CRF) as the baseline model to capture the word sequence and employ additional Bi-LSTMs to encode syntax based on dependency tree substructures. Our focus is on empirically evaluating the contribution of each syntax integration method in extracting the spatial roles with respect to a SPATIAL INDICATOR in a sentence. The incorporation of syntax embeddings to the baseline method achieves promising results, with improvements of 1.3, 0.8, 4.6, and 4.6 points in the average F1 measures for TRAJECTOR, LANDMARK, DIAGNOSIS, and HEDGE roles, respectively.
