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 modern entity recognition systems, including the current state-of-the-art de-identification systems, are based on bidirectional long short-term memory (biLSTM) units augmented by a conditional random field (CRF) sequence optimizer. These systems process the input sentence by sentence. This approach prevents the systems from capturing dependencies over sentence boundaries and makes accurate sentence boundary detection a prerequisite. Since sentence boundary detection can be problematic especially in clinical reports, where dependencies and co-references across sentence boundaries are abundant, these systems have clear limitations. In this study, we built a new system on the framework of one of the current state-of-the-art de-identification systems, NeuroNER, to overcome these limitations. This new system incorporates context embeddings through forward and backward
