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 this issue of the Journal, an expert panel offers 7 recommendations on how population studies supported by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute contracts might be strategically transformed (Am J Epidemiol. 2015;181(6):363-368). The Institute and its external advisors seemingly established this panel of epidemiologists and nonepidemiologists primarily to find ways to save research costs. Although the working group's recommendations offer reasonable approaches, we believe that, even in tough fiscal times, the main drivers of cardiovascular epidemiologic research must remain 1) scientific questions that are important and 2) study designs to match these. Although cardiovascular epidemiology admittedly is often redundant and needs to be more efficient, undue focus on administrative efficiency and cost savings will not necessarily guarantee cutting-edge population research.
