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

backgroundBuilding a large-scale medical knowledge graphs needs to automatically extract the relations between entities from electronic medical records (EMRs) . The main challenges are the scarcity of available labeled corpus and the identification of complexity semantic relations in text of Chinese EMRs. A hybrid method based on semi-supervised learning is proposed to extract the medical entity relations from small-scale complex Chinese EMRs.

methodsThe semantic features of sentences are extracted by a residual network and the long dependent information is captured by bidirectional gated recurrent unit. Then the attention mechanism is used to assign weights for the extracted features respectively, and the output of two attention mechanisms is integrated for relation prediction. We adjusted the training process with manually annotated small-scale relational corpus and bootstrapping semi-supervised learning algorithm, and continuously expanded the datasets during the training process.

resultsWe constructed a small corpus of Chinese EMRs relation extraction based on the EMR datasets released at the China Conference on Knowledge Graph and Semantic Computing. The experimental results show that the best F1-score of the proposed method on the overall relation categories reaches 89.78%, which is 13.07% higher than the baseline CNN.
