Takes a TXT file and returns data related to the presence of a COI statement, including whether a COI statement exists. If a COI statement exists, it extracts it. Detection runs through the same text helpers as [rt_coi_pmc()], so a plain-text article is scored with the same logic as a PMC XML one (only the XML-structural routes, which need tags a TXT file does not have, are unavailable).

Usage

rt_coi(filename = NULL, text = NULL)

Arguments

filename

The path to a TXT file as a string.

text

Alternatively, the article text itself as a character vector (for example the output of [rt_read_pdf()]). Supply `filename` or `text`.

Value

A tibble with the file name (`article`), the PMID (the digits after "PMID" in the file name, `NA` if absent or for `text`), whether a COI statement was found (`is_coi_pred`) and the text identified (`coi_text`).

Examples

# \donttest{
# Write a short example article to a temporary text file.
filepath <- file.path(tempdir(), "PMID00000000-PMC0000000.txt")
writeLines(c(

  "The protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00000000).",
  "All data and code are available at https://github.com/example/repo.",
  "We independently replicated the original analysis."
), filepath)

# Identify and extract the COI statement.
