Specifications of Clinical Quality Measures and Value Set Vocabularies Shift Over Time: A Study of Change through Implementation Differences.

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
Clinical quality measures (CQMs) aim to identify gaps in care and to promote evidence-based guidelines. Official CQM definitions consist of a measure's logic and grouped, standardized codes to define key concepts. In this study, we used the official CQM update process to understand how CQMs' meanings change over time. First, we identified differences between the narrative description, logic, and the vocabulary specifications offour standardized CQMs' definitions in subsequent versions (2015, 2016, and 2017). Next, we implemented the various versions in a quality measure calculation registry to understand how the differences affected calculated prevalence of risk and measure performance. Global performance rates changed up to 5.32%, and an increase of up to 28% new patients was observed for key conditions between versions. Updates to definitions that change a measure's logic and choices to include/exclude codes in value set vocabularies changes measurement of quality and likely introduces variation by implementation.
