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

purposeThis study documents the creation of automated, longitudinal, and prospective data and analytics platform for breast cancer at a regional cancer center. This platform combines principles of data warehousing with natural language processing (NLP) to provide the integrated, timely, meaningful, high-quality, and actionable data required to establish a learning health system.

methodsData from six hospital information systems and one external data source were integrated on a nightly basis by automated extract/transform/load jobs. Free-text clinical documentation was processed using a commercial NLP engine.

resultsThe platform contains 141 data elements of 7,019 patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer who received care at our regional cancer center from January 1, 2014, to June 3, 2022. Daily updating of the database takes an average of 56 minutes. Evaluation of the tuning of NLP jobs found overall high performance, with an F1 of 1.0 for 19 variables, with a further 16 variables with an F1 of > 0.95.

conclusionThis study describes how data warehousing combined with NLP can be used to create a prospective data and analytics platform to enable a learning health system. Although upfront time investment required to create the platform was considerable, now that it has been developed, daily data processing is completed automatically in less than an hour.
