The Problems of Realism-Based Ontology Design: a Case Study in Creating Definitions for an Application Ontology for Diabetes Camps.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A requirement of realism-based ontology design is that classes denote exclusively entities that exist objectively in reality and that their definitions adhere to strict criteria to ensure that the classes are re-usable in other ontologies while preserving their ontological commitment. Building realism-based ontologies is therefore quite challenging and time-consuming, demanding considerable training. Although the top-level in the form of the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is worked out very well, and also the upper levels of certain domains, there is still a disconnect with the bottom- up or middle-out approach which is typical, and more practical, for application ontologies. Using the development of an application ontology for diabetes management in diabetes camps as an example, we present an overview of problems trainees in realism-based ontology design can be confronted with and offer some guidelines on how to deal with them in case no ideal solution is available.
