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

The advancement of clinical natural language processing systems is crucial to exploit the wealth of textual data contained in medical records. Diverse data sources are required in different languages and from different sites to represent global health services. To this end, we have released CARMEN-I, a corpus of anonymized clinical records from the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona written during the COVID-19 pandemic spanning a period of two years. In addition to COVID-19 cases of adult patients, CARMEN-I features multiple comorbidities such as cardiovascular conditions, oncology treatments, post-transplant complications, and infectious diseases. This resource is publicly accessible together with detailed annotation guidelines and granular text-bound annotations generated in a collaborative effort between clinicians, linguists, and engineers to enable training and evaluation of automatic anonymization systems. Moreover, for information extraction purposes, a subset of 500 records is annotated with six relevant clinical concept classes: diseases, symptoms, procedures, medications, pathogens and humans.
