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

In hospital information systems, laboratory results are stored using specific terminologies which may differ between hospitals. The objective is to create a tool helping to build a mapping between a target terminology (reference dataset) and a new one. Using a training sample consisting of correct and incorrect correspondences between parameters of different hospitals, a match probability score is built. This model also enables to determine the theoretical conversion factor between two parameters. This method is evaluated on a test sample of a new hospital: For each reference parameter, best candidates are returned and sorted in decreasing order using the probability given by the model. The correct correspondent of 14 among 15 reference parameters are ranked in the top five among more than 70. All conversion factors are correct. A mapping webtool is built to present the essential information for best candidates. Using this tool, an expert has found all the correct pairs.
