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

Anecdotal evidence suggests that, during the clinical care process, many dental practices record some data that are also collected in dental practice based research network (PBRN) studies. Since the use of existing, electronically stored data for research has multiple benefits, we investigated the overlap between research data fields used in dental PBRN studies and clinical data fields typically found in general dental records. We mapped 734 unique data elements from the Dental Information Model (DIM) to 2,487 Common Data Elements (CDE) curated by the NIDCR's PBRNs in the Cancer Data Standards Registry and Repository (caDSR). Thirty-three percent of the DIM data elements matched at least one CDE completely and 9% partially, translating to about 9% and 2%, respectively, of all data elements used in PBRN studies. The most frequently used CDEs found in the DIM included data about dental anatomy, medications, and items such as oral biopsy and caries. Our study shows that a non-trivial number of data elements in general dental records can be mapped either completely or partially to data fields in research studies. Further studies should investigate the feasibility of electronic clinical data for research purposes.
