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

Spelling correction is a particularly important problem in clinical natural language processing because of the abundant occurrence of misspellings in medical records. However, the scarcity of labeled datasets in a clinical context makes it hard to build a machine learning system for such clinical spelling correction. In this work, we present a probabilistic model of correcting misspellings based on a simple conditional independence assumption, which leads to a modular decomposition into a language model and a corruption model. With a deep character-level language model trained on a large clinical corpus, and a simple edit-based corruption model, we can build a spelling correction model with small or no real data. Experimental results show that our model significantly outperforms baselines on two healthcare spelling correction datasets.
