Use of RxNorm to exchange codified drug allergy information between Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD).
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Under a congressional mandate, VA and DoD have built a framework to exchange standardized, codified patient drug allergy information through a mediation terminology. Initially, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) was deemed to be the most appropriate translator. After both agency files were mapped to UMLS, DoD could understand 45 percent of VA's mapped terms and VA could understand 26 percent of DoD's mapped terms. A significant portion of the non-mediated information was brand names in DoD with generic counterparts in VA. Recently, a Consolidated Health Informatics (CHI) group designated RxNorm as the standard for trade name allergies. An analysis was conducted to estimate mediation improvement using RxNorm. Both agency files were re-mapped to RxNorm. By utilizing the RxNorm defined relationships between brand names and generics and between variants of therapeutic moieties , DoD will understand 74 percent of VA terms and VA will understand 58 percent of DoD terms.
