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

Biomedical ontologies are a key component in many systems for the analysis of textual clinical data. They are employed to organize information about a certain domain relying on a hierarchy of different classes. Each class maps a concept to items in a terminology developed by domain experts. These mappings are then leveraged to organize the information extracted by Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to build knowledge graphs for inferences. The creation of these associations, however, requires extensive manual review. In this paper, we present an automated approach and repeatable framework to learn a mapping between ontology classes and terminology terms derived from vocabularies in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) metathesaurus. According to our evaluation, the proposed system achieves a performance close to humans and provides a substantial improvement over existing systems developed by the National Library of Medicine to assist researchers through this process.
