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

Multimorbidity, i.e., the presence of multiple diseases within one person, is a significant health-care problem for western societies: diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in the presence of of multiple diseases can be complex due to the various interactions between diseases. A literature review reveals that there is a variety of definitions that describe different concepts with respect to multimorbidity, both for the cause of multimorbidity as well as the implications of multimorbidity. To be able to aid computerized decision support systems within patient care, e.g. electronic clinical guidelines that can be personalized given the patient's problems, these multimorbidity aspects need to be defined rigorously in a formal language. In this paper, we employ causal Bayesian networks to define and analyze a novel framework that can be used to model a spectrum of aspects related to multimorbidity. We conclude that this framework provides a solid basis for modeling interactions between multiple diseases.
