CBAG: Conditional biomedical abstract generation.
Article in PloS one, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Biomedical research papers often combine disjoint concepts in novel ways, such as when describing a newly discovered relationship between an understudied gene with an important disease. These concepts are often explicitly encoded as metadata keywords, such as the author-provided terms included with many documents in the MEDLINE database. While substantial recent work has addressed the problem of text generation in a more general context, applications, such as scientific writing assistants, or hypothesis generation systems, could benefit from the capacity to select the specific set of concepts that underpin a generated biomedical text. We propose a conditional language model following the transformer architecture. This model uses the "encoder stack" to encode concepts that a user wishes to discuss in the generated text. The "decoder stack" then follows the masked self-attention pattern to perform text generation, using both prior tokens as well as the encoded condition. We demonstrate that this approach provides significant control, while still producing reasonable biomedical text.
