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

Syndrome differentiation is the most basic diagnostic method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The process of syndrome differentiation is difficult and challenging due to its complexity, diversity, and vagueness. Recently, artificial intelligent methods have been introduced to discover the regularities of syndrome differentiation from TCM medical records, but the existing DM algorithms failed to consider how a syndrome is generated according to TCM theories. In this paper, we propose a novel topic model framework named syndrome differentiation topic model (SDTM) to dynamically characterize the process of syndrome differentiation. The SDTM framework utilizes latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) to discover the latent semantic relationship between symptoms and syndromes in mass of Chinese medical records. We also use similarity measurement method to make the uninterpretable topics correspond with the labeled syndromes. Finally, Bayesian method is used in the final differentiated syndromes. Experimental results show the superiority of SDTM over existing topic models for the task of syndrome differentiation.
