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

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown great promise in estimating dynamic treatment regimes which take into account patient heterogeneity. However, health-outcome information, used as the reward for RL methods, is often not well coded but rather embedded in clinical notes. Extracting precise outcome information is a resource-intensive task, so most of the available well-annotated cohorts are small. To address this issue, we propose a semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach that efficiently leverages a small-sized labeled data set with actual outcomes observed and a large unlabeled data set with outcome surrogates. In particular, we propose a semi-supervised, efficient approach to
