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 article presents a workflow to create a question-answering system whose knowledge base combines knowledge graphs and scientific publications on coronaviruses. It is based on the experience gained in modeling evidence from research articles to provide answers to questions in natural language. The work contains best practices for acquiring scientific publications, tuning language models to identify and normalize relevant entities, creating representational models based on probabilistic topics, and formalizing an ontology that describes the associations between domain concepts supported by the scientific literature. All the resources generated in the domain of coronavirus are available openly as part of the Drugs4COVID initiative, and can be (re)-used independently or as a whole. They can be exploited by scientific communities conducting research related to SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and also by therapeutic communities, laboratories, etc., wishing to find and understand relationships between symptoms, drugs, active ingredients and their documentary evidence.
