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 aims of the study were to assess the agreement between data from personal interviews and medical records on selected medical conditions, to evaluate the validity of each source of information, and to estimate the prevalence of these conditions in pancreatobiliary pathology. Between 1992 and 1995, 602 patients with pancreatobiliary diseases were included in the PANKRAS II Study. Information from interview and medical records was available in 88% of cases. The agreement between both data sources was poor only for cholecystitis and mental disorders. The validity of both sources of information was high or acceptable for all conditions except for cholecystitis. Prevalence of past medical conditions was similar to that reported previously and varied according to diagnosis, gender, age, educational level, and hospital of admission. Research aimed at assessing the prevalence of less common diseases should consider subject- and health-related factors in collecting information.
