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

backgroundThe rapid growth of web-based medical services has highlighted the significance of smart triage systems in helping patients find the most appropriate physicians. However, traditional triage methods often rely on department recommendations and are insufficient to accurately match patients' textual questions with physicians' specialties. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop algorithms for recommending physicians.

objectiveThis study aims to develop and validate a patient-physician hybrid recommendation (PPHR) model with response metrics for better triage performance.

methodsA total of 646,383 web-based medical consultation records from the Internet Hospital of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were collected. Semantic features representing patients and physicians were developed to identify the set of most similar questions and semantically expand the pool of recommended physician candidates, respectively. The physicians' response rate feature was designed to improve candidate rankings. These 3 characteristics combine to create the PPHR model. Overall, 5 physicians participated in the evaluation of the efficiency of the PPHR model through multiple metrics and questionnaires as well as the performance of Sentence Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers and Doc2Vec in text embedding.

resultsThe PPHR model reaches the best recommendation performance when the number of recommended physicians is 14. At this point, the model has an F

conclusionsThe PPHR model uses semantic features and response metrics to enable patients to accurately find the physician who best suits their needs.
