Issues in mapping LOINC laboratory tests to SNOMED CT.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Comprehensive clinical terminologies such as SNOMED CT tend to overlap with specialized terminologies such as LOINC (e.g., for the domain of laboratory procedures). Terminological systems such as the UMLS are often used to bridge between terminologies. However, the integration of LOINC in the UMLS and with other terminologies remains suboptimal. We mapped concepts for laboratory tests from LOINC to pre-coordinated SNOMED CT concepts, based on shared relations to other concepts. As LOINC is finer-grained than SNOMED CT, several LOINC codes tend to map to the same SNOMED CT concept. However, a large proportion of LOINC codes could not be mapped to SNOMED CT through this approach, because of underspecified definitions in SNOMED CT and a lack of fine-grained, pre-coordinated concepts in SNOMED CT.
