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

This paper presents a large publicly available benchmark dataset (TCMEval-SDT) for the thought process involved in syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The dataset consists of 300 TCM syndrome diagnosis cases sourced from the internet, classical Chinese medical texts, and medical records from hospitals, with metadata adhering to the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. Each case has been annotated and curated by TCM experts and includes medical record ID, clinical data, explanatory summary, TCM syndrome, clinical information, and TCM pathogenesis, to support algorithms or models in emulating the diagnostic process of TCM clinicians. To provide a comprehensive description of the TCM syndrome diagnosis process, we summarize the diagnosis into four steps: (1) clinical information extraction, (2) TCM pathogenesis reasoning, (3) TCM syndrome reasoning, and (4) explanatory summary. We have also established validation criteria to evaluate their ability in TCM clinical diagnosis using this dataset. To facilitate research and evaluation in syndrome diagnosis of TCM, the TCMEval-SDT dataset is made publicly available under the CC-BY 4.0 license.
