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

backgroundInformation on protein-protein interactions affected by mutations is very useful for understanding the biological effect of mutations and for developing treatments targeting the interactions. In this study, we developed a natural language processing (NLP) based machine learning approach for extracting such information from literature. Our aim is to identify journal abstracts or paragraphs in full-text articles that contain at least one occurrence of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) affected by a mutation.

resultsOur system makes use of latest NLP methods with a large number of engineered features including some based on pre-trained word embedding. Our final model achieved satisfactory performance in the Document Triage Task of the BioCreative VI Precision Medicine Track with highest recall and comparable F1-score.

conclusionsThe performance of our method indicates that it is ideally suited for being combined with manual annotations. Our machine learning framework and engineered features will also be very helpful for other researchers to further improve this and other related biological text mining tasks using either traditional machine learning or deep learning based methods.
