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

Big data is a term used for any collection of datasets whose size and complexity exceeds the capabilities of traditional data processing applications. Big data repositories, including those for molecular, clinical, and epidemiology data, offer unprecedented research opportunities to help guide scientific advancement. Advantages of big data can include ease and low cost of collection, ability to approach prospectively and retrospectively, utility for hypothesis generation in addition to hypothesis testing, and the promise of precision medicine. Limitations include cost and difficulty of storing and processing data; need for advanced techniques for formatting and analysis; and concerns about accuracy, reliability, and security. We discuss sources of big data and tools for its analysis to help inform the treatment and management of dermatologic diseases.
