Ontology-based clinical pathways with semantic rules.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Clinical Pathways (CP) enhance the quality of patient care, and are thus important in health management. However, there is a need to address the challenge of adaptation of treatment procedures in CP-that is, the treatment schemes must be re-modified once the clinical status and other care conditions of patients in the healthcare setting change, which happen frequently. In addition, the widespread and frequent use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) implies an increasing need to combine CP with other healthcare information systems, especially EMR, in order to greatly improve healthcare quality and efficiency. This study proposed an ontology-based method to model CP: ontology was used to model CP domain terms; Semantic Web Rule language was used to model domain rules. In this way, the CP could reason over the rules, knowledge, and information collected, and provides automated error checking for the next steps of the treatment in runtime, which is adaptive to treatment procedures. To evaluate our method, we built a Lobectomia Pulmonalis CP and realized it based on an EMR system.
