Completeness and Accuracy of Local Clinical Registry Data for Children Undergoing Heart Surgery.
Article in The Annals of thoracic surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundData routinely captured in clinical registries may be leveraged to enhance efficiency of prospective research. The quality of registry data for this purpose has not been studied, however. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of perioperative data within congenital heart centers' local surgical registries.
methodsWithin 12 Pediatric Heart Network (PHN) sites, we evaluated 31 perioperative variables (and their subcategories, totaling 113 unique fields) collected via sites' local clinical registries for submission to The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database, compared with chart review by PHN research coordinators. Both used standard STS definitions. Data were collected on 10 subjects for 2 to 5 procedures/site and adjudicated by the study team. Completeness and accuracy (agreement of registry data with medical record review by PHN coordinator, adjudicated by the study team) were evaluated.
resultsA total of 56,500 data elements were collected on 500 subjects. With regard to data completeness, 3.1% of data elements were missing from the registry, 0.6% from coordinator-collected data, and 0.4% from both. Overall, registry data accuracy was 98%. In total, 94.7% of data elements were both complete/non-missing and accurate within the registry, although there was variation across data fields and sites. Mean total time for coordinator chart review per site was 49.1 hours versus 7.0 hours for registry query.
conclusionsThis study suggests that existing surgical registry data constitute a complete, accurate, and efficient information source for prospective research. Variability across data fields and sites also suggest areas for improvement in some areas of data quality.
