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

backgroundUnstructured data from electronic health records represent a wealth of information. Doc'EDS is a pre-screening tool based on textual and semantic analysis. The Doc'EDS system provides a graphic user interface to search documents in French. The aim of this study was to present the Doc'EDS tool and to provide a formal evaluation of its semantic features.

methodsDoc'EDS is a search tool built on top of the clinical data warehouse developed at Rouen University Hospital. This tool is a multilevel search engine combining structured and unstructured data. It also provides basic analytical features and semantic utilities. A formal evaluation was conducted to measure the impact of Natural Language Processing algorithms.

resultsApproximately 18.1 million narrative documents are stored in Doc'EDS. The formal evaluation was conducted in 5000 clinical concepts that were manually collected. The F-measures of negative concepts and hypothetical concepts were respectively 0.89 and 0.57.

conclusionIn this formal evaluation, we have shown that Doc'EDS is able to deal with language subtleties to enhance an advanced full text search in French health documents. The Doc'EDS tool is currently used on a daily basis to help researchers to identify patient cohorts thanks to unstructured data.
