A distributable German clinical corpus containing cardiovascular clinical routine doctor's letters.
Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
We present CARDIO:DE, the first freely available and distributable large German clinical corpus from the cardiovascular domain. CARDIO:DE encompasses 500 clinical routine German doctor's letters from Heidelberg University Hospital, which were manually annotated. Our prospective study design complies well with current data protection regulations and allows us to keep the original structure of clinical documents consistent. In order to ease access to our corpus, we manually de-identified all letters. To enable various information extraction tasks the temporal information in the documents was preserved. We added two high-quality manual annotation layers to CARDIO:DE, (1) medication information and (2) CDA-compliant section classes. To the best of our knowledge, CARDIO:DE is the first freely available and distributable German clinical corpus in the cardiovascular domain. In summary, our corpus offers unique opportunities for collaborative and reproducible research on natural language processing models for German clinical texts.
