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

During the process of childbirth, fetal distress caused by hypoxia can lead to various abnormalities. Cardiotocography (CTG), which consists of continuous recording of the fetal heart rate (FHR) and uterine contractions (UC), is routinely used for classifying the fetuses as hypoxic or non-hypoxic. In practice, we face highly imbalanced data, where the hypoxic fetuses are significantly underrepresented. We propose to address this problem by boost ensemble learning, where for learning, we use the distribution of classification error over the dataset. We then iteratively select the most informative majority data samples according to this distribution. In our work, in addition to addressing the imbalanced problem, we also experimented with features that are not commonly used in obstetrics. We extracted a large number of statistical features of fetal heart tracings and uterine activity signals and used only the most informative ones. For classification, we implemented several methods: Random Forest, AdaBoost,
