r - 使用rentrez在R中解析XML文件

Question

我不是XML专家。使用XML解析rentrez文件时出现问题。我正在尝试将每个pmid（PubMed数据库中的商品ID）作为作者和隶属关系作为输出。我的代码运行良好，除非作者具有多个从属关系。当作者具有多个从属关系时，列first_names，last_names和affiliation的长度会不同，并且会返回错误。我真的不具备处理XML解析的专业知识。我严格期望如下结果：

pmid         first_names  last_names              affiliation
27869504     Luca           Villa         Division of Experimental Oncology/Unit of Urology, URI , IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, Milan, Italy

      <AbstractText Label="PURPOSE" NlmCategory="OBJECTIVE">We sought to test the content validity of a new training model for flexible ureteroscopy: the Key-Box.</AbstractText>
      <AbstractText Label="MATERIAL AND METHODS" NlmCategory="METHODS">Sixteen medical students were randomized to undergo a 10-day training consisting of performing 10 different exercises aimed at learning specific movements with the flexible ureteroscope, and how to catch and release stones with a nitinol basket using the Key-Box (n&#x2009;=&#x2009;8 students in the training group, n&#x2009;=&#x2009;8 students in the nontraining control group). Subsequently, an expert endourologist (O.T.) blindly assessed skills acquired by the whole cohort of students through two exercises on ureteroscope manipulation and one exercise on stone capture selected among those used for the training. A performance scale (1-5) assessing different steps of the procedure was used to evaluate each student. Time to complete the exercises was measured. Mann-Whitney Rank Sum test was used for comparisons between the two groups.</AbstractText>
      <AbstractText Label="RESULTS" NlmCategory="RESULTS">Mean scores obtained by trained students were significantly higher compared with those obtained by nontrained students (all p&#x2009;&lt;&#x2009;0.001). All trained students were able to complete the two exercises on ureteroscope manipulation within 3 minutes, whereas two students (25%) were not able to finish the exercise on stone capture. Conversely, four (50%) and six (75%) nontrained students were not able to finish one out of the two exercises on ureteroscope manipulation and the exercise on stone capture, respectively. The mean time to complete the three exercises was 76.3, 69.9, and 107 and 172.5, 137.9, and 168 seconds in the trained and nontrained groups, respectively (all p&#x2009;&lt;&#x2009;0.001).</AbstractText>
      <AbstractText Label="CONCLUSIONS" NlmCategory="CONCLUSIONS">The K-Box(&#xAE;) seems to be a valid easy-to-use training model for initiating novel endoscopists to flexible ureteroscopy.</AbstractText>

以下是我正在使用的代码，除了在PubMed数据库中文章作者有多个从属关系之外，它都可以正常工作：

 library(rentrez)
 library(XML)

 pubmedSearch <- entrez_search("pubmed", term = "flexible ureteroscope Simulation Model", 
                          retmax = 10)
 SearchResults <- entrez_fetch(db="pubmed", pubmedSearch$ids, rettype="xml", 
                          parsed=TRUE)

 xmlGetValue <- function(x, node){
   a <- xpathSApply(x, node, xmlValue)
   if(length(a) == 0) {a <- NA} else {a}
 }

 parse_paper <- function(paper){
    pmid <- xmlGetValue(paper, ".//ArticleId[@IdType='pubmed']")
    first_names <- xmlGetValue(paper, ".//Author/ForeName")
    last_names <- xmlGetValue(paper, ".//Author/LastName")
    affiliation <- xmlGetValue(paper, ".//AffiliationInfo/Affiliation")
    data.frame(pmid=pmid, first_names=first_names, last_names=last_names,
         affiliation=affiliation)
 }  

parse_multiple_papers <- function(papers){
  res <- xpathApply(papers, "/PubmedArticleSet/*", parse_paper)
  do.call(rbind.data.frame, res)
}

test_df <- parse_multiple_papers(SearchResults) 

非常感谢您的帮助和支持。

Answer 1

这个问题也以issue @ rentrez's repository的形式出现，那里给出了一种可能的解决方案的详细信息。我也会在这里包含该代码

parse_author <- function(author){
  fn  <- xmlValue(author[["ForeName"]])
  ln  <- xmlValue(author[["LastName"]])
  aff <-paste(xpathApply(author, "AffiliationInfo/Affiliation", xmlValue), collapse="; ")
  list(forname=fn, lastname=ln, affiliation=aff)
}

parse_paper <- function(paper){
  author_info <- xpathApply(paper, ".//AuthorList/Author", parse_author)
  res <- do.call(rbind.data.frame, author_info)
  res$pmid <-xpathSApply(paper, ".//ArticleId[@IdType='pubmed']", xmlValue)
  res
}

parse_multiple_papers <- function(papers){
 res <- xpathApply(papers, "/PubmedArticleSet/*", parse_paper)
 do.call(rbind.data.frame, res)
}

head(parse_multiple_papers(SearchResults))
