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

motivationScientific advances build on the findings of existing research. The 2001 publication of the human genome has led to the production of huge volumes of literature exploring the context-specific functions and interactions of genes. Technology is needed to perform large-scale text mining of research papers to extract the reported actions of genes in specific experimental contexts and cell states, such as cancer, thereby facilitating the design of new therapeutic strategies.

resultsWe present a new corpus and Text Mining methodology that can accurately identify and extract the most important details of cancer genomics experiments from biomedical texts. We build a Named Entity Recognition model that accurately extracts relevant experiment details from PubMed abstract text, and a second model that identifies the relationships between them. This system outperforms earlier models and enables the analysis of gene function in diverse and dynamically evolving experimental contexts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Code and data are available here: https://github.com/cambridgeltl/functional-genomics-ie.
