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

The lack of relevant annotated datasets represents one key limitation in the application of Natural Language Processing techniques in a broad number of tasks, among them Protected Health Information (PHI) identification in Norwegian clinical text. In this work, the possibility of exploiting resources from Swedish, a very closely related language, to Norwegian is explored. The Swedish dataset is annotated with PHI information. Different processing and text augmentation techniques are evaluated, along with their impact in the final performance of the model. The augmentation techniques, such as injection and generation of both Norwegian and Scandinavian Named Entities into the Swedish training corpus, showed to increase the performance in the de-identification task for both Danish and Norwegian text. This trend was also confirmed by the evaluation of model performance on a sample Norwegian gastro surgical clinical text.
