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

Machine learning methods have recently achieved high-performance in biomedical text analysis. However, a major bottleneck in the widespread application of these methods is obtaining the required large amounts of annotated training data, which is resource intensive and time consuming. Recent progress in self-supervised learning has shown promise in leveraging large text corpora without explicit annotations. In this work, we built a self-supervised contextual language representation model using BERT, a deep bidirectional transformer architecture, to identify radiology reports requiring prompt communication to the referring physicians. We pre-trained the BERT model on a large unlabeled corpus of radiology reports and used the resulting contextual representations in a final text classifier for communication urgency. Our model achieved a precision of 97.0%, recall of 93.3%, and F-measure of 95.1% on an independent test set in identifying radiology reports for prompt communication, and significantly outperformed the previous state-of-the-art model based on word2vec representations.
