According to Brugman, the meaning potential of a polysemous word can be modeled as a radial complex where a dominant sense is related to less typical senses by means of semantic relations such as metaphor and metonymy (e.g., the sense network of 'fruit' has product of plant growth at its center and a more abstract outcome at its periphery, and the two are connected by a metaphorical relation).
We abstracted outcomes in these women and their newborns.
For physiologic outcomes, we abstracted outcomes data and time of data collection before and after effusion drainage (see Additional file 1 for details [ 20]).
These items were Title and Abstract, Participants, Outcomes, Randomization: Sequence Generation, Randomization: Implementation, Recruitment, and Outcomes and Estimates.
Previous work has shown that human annotators typically mark two of three sentences in each abstract as outcomes.
Also, the few students (n = 6) who had followed an elective with the highest taxonomy level (most extended abstract learning outcomes) had a significantly higher GRAS-DK score than students who had followed the other electives.
Exclusion criteria included: (1) no documented ED-placed invasive lines, (2) case series, case report, and review articles, (3) study of tunneled, Hickman, dialysis, and PICC lines, (4) no abstract or outcome data available, and (5) abstracts written in a language other than English or French.
Data abstracted regarding outcomes and QIs will be mapped onto existing, publicly reported QIs used in Ontario, Canada.
Before the collection of patients' glucose records, the investigators abstracted clinical outcomes using the electronic patient record, which holds all laboratory, microbiology, and radiographic data.
However, detailed data (information unlikely to be reported in abstracts) on outcome measures (binary/continuous), gene variants and reported p values were derived from the full text of a subset of 10%, which accurately reflected the span of studies in the database.
