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

backgroundCompound identification remains a critical bottleneck in the process of exploiting Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics data, especially for AIM OF REVIEW: This review is aimed at broadening the application of automated annotation tools by discussing the key ideas of spectral matching and beginning to describe a set of terms to classify this information, thus advancing standards for communicating annotation confidence. Additionally, we hope that this review will facilitate the growing collaboration between chemical data scientists, software developers and the NMR metabolomics community aiding development of long-term software solutions. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: We begin with a brief discussion of the typical untargeted NMR identification workflow. We differentiate between annotation (hypothesis generation, filtering), and identification (hypothesis testing, verification), and note the utility of different NMR data features for annotation. We then touch on three parts of annotation: (1) generation of queries, (2) matching queries to reference data, and (3) scoring and confidence estimation of potential matches for verification. In doing so, we highlight existing approaches to automated and semi-automated annotation from the perspective of the structural information they utilize, as well as how this information can be represented computationally.
