In systematic review, the measures reported by the primary studies may not always be the measures sought by the systematic review investigators. Motivated by an systematic review of interventions to reduce meat consumption, we discuss here methods to infer relative risks and confidence intervals from randomized controlled trials that reported differences, possibly in the presence of repeated measures or multiple interventions.

Matching journals

The top 3 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
