Record linkage of health care insurance claims.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThis paper provides a detailed description of a method developed for purposes of linking records of individual patients, represented in diverse data sets, across time and geography.
designThe procedure for record linkage has three major components-data standardization, weight estimation, and matching. The proposed method was designed to incorporate a combination of exact and probabilistic matching techniques. MEASUREMENTS: The procedure was validated using convergent, divergent, and criterion validity measures.
resultsThe output of the process achieved a sensitivity of 92 percent and a specificity that approached 100 percent.
conclusionsThe procedure is a first step in addressing the current trend toward larger and more complex databases.
