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

Precision medicine focuses on developing new treatments based on an individual's genetic, environmental, and lifestyle profile. While this data-driven approach has led to significant advances, retrieving information specific to a patient's condition has proved challenging for oncologists due to the large volume of data. In this paper, we propose the PRecIsion Medicine Robust Oncology Search Engine (PRIMROSE) for cancer patients that retrieves scientific articles and clinical trials based on a patient's condition, genetic profile, age, and gender. Our search engine utilizes Elasticsearch indexes for information storage and retrieval, and we developed a knowledge graph for query expansion in order to improve recall. Additionally, we experimented with machine learning and learning-to-rank components to the search engine and compared the results of the two approaches. Finally, we developed a front-facing ReactJS website and a REST API for connecting with our search engine. The development of this front-facing website allows for easy access to our system by healthcare providers.
