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

Rare diseases, while individually rare, cumulatively affect a large population, and patients often undergo long and arduous diagnostic odysseys. Toward the goal of supporting earlier diagnosis of rare diseases, we developed generalizable methods of extracting rare diseases and phenotypes from structured electronic health records and clinical notes. We analyzed the distributions of the age of onset of phenotypes per disease to identify disease-phenotype associations, producing a dataset with over 500 thousand associations covering 2300 rare diseases. Disease-phenotype associations are characterized by disease prevalence and mean age of onset of the phenotype to aid phenotype selection according to the priorities of the clinical decision support task.
