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

Many patients with gout flares treated in the Emergency Department (ED) often do not receive optimal continuity of care after an ED visit. Thus, developing methods to identify patients with gout flares in the ED and referring them to appropriate outpatient gout care is required. While Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been used to detect gout flares retrospectively, it is much more challenging to identify patients prospectively during an ED visit where documentation is usually minimal. We annotate a corpus of ED triage nurse chief complaint notes for the presence of gout flares and implement a simple algorithm for gout flare ED alerts. We show that the chief complaint alone has strong predictive power for gout flares. We make available a de-identified version of this corpus annotated for gout mentions, which is to our knowledge the first free text chief complaint clinical corpus available.
