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

backgroundBio-entity Coreference Resolution (CR) is a vital task in biomedical text mining. An important issue in CR is the differential representation of identical mentions as their similar representations may make the coreference more puzzling. However, when extracting features, existing neural network-based models may bring additional noise to the distinction of identical mentions since they tend to get similar or even identical feature representations.

methodsWe propose a context-aware feature attention model to distinguish similar or identical text units effectively for better resolving coreference. The new model can represent the identical mentions based on different contexts by adaptively exploiting features, which enables the model reduce the text noise and capture the semantic information effectively.

resultsThe experimental results show that the proposed model brings significant improvements on most of the baseline for coreference resolution and mention detection on the BioNLP dataset and CRAFT-CR dataset. The empirical studies further demonstrate its superior performance on the differential representation and coreferential link of identical mentions.

conclusionsIdentical mentions impose difficulties on the current methods of Bio-entity coreference resolution. Thus, we propose the context-aware feature attention model to better distinguish identical mentions and achieve superior performance on both coreference resolution and mention detection, which will further improve the performance of the downstream tasks.
