Training and intrinsic evaluation of lightweight word embeddings for the clinical domain in Spanish.
Article in Frontiers in artificial intelligence, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Resources for Natural Language Processing (NLP) are less numerous for languages different from English. In the clinical domain, where these resources are vital for obtaining new knowledge about human health and diseases, creating new resources for the Spanish language is imperative. One of the most common approaches in NLP is word embeddings, which are dense vector representations of a word, considering the word's context. This vector representation is usually the first step in various NLP tasks, such as text classification or information extraction. Therefore, in order to enrich Spanish language NLP tools, we built a Spanish clinical corpus from waiting list diagnostic suspicions, a biomedical corpus from medical journals, and term sequences sampled from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). These three corpora can be used to compute word embeddings models from scratch using Word2vec and fastText algorithms. Furthermore, to validate the quality of the calculated embeddings, we adapted several evaluation datasets in English, including some tests that have not been used in Spanish to the best of our knowledge. These translations were validated by two bilingual clinicians following an
