RadLex Normalization in Radiology Reports.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Radiology reports have been widely used for extraction of various clinically significant information about patients' imaging studies. However, limited research has focused on standardizing the entities to a common radiology-specific vocabulary. Further, no study to date has attempted to leverage RadLex for standardization. In this paper, we aim to normalize a diverse set of radiological entities to RadLex terms. We manually construct a normalization corpus by annotating entities from three types of reports. This contains 1706 entity mentions. We propose two deep learning-based NLP methods based on a pre-trained language model (BERT) for automatic normalization. First, we employ BM25 to retrieve candidate concepts for the BERT-based models (re-ranker and span detector) to predict the normalized concept. The results are promising, with the best accuracy (78.44%) obtained by the span detector. Additionally, we discuss the challenges involved in corpus construction and propose new RadLex terms.
