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 theory, the logic of decision rules should be atomic. In practice, this is not always possible; initially simple logic statements tend to be overloaded with additional conditions restricting the scope of such rules. By doing so, the original logic soon becomes encumbered with contextual knowledge. Contextual knowledge is re-usable on its own and could be modeled separately from the logic of a rule without losing the intended functionality. We model constraints to explicitly define the context where knowledge of decision rules is actionable. We borrowed concepts from Semantic Web, Complex Adaptive Systems, and Contextual Reasoning. The proposed approach provides the means for identifying and modeling contextual knowledge in a simple, sound manner. The methodology presented herein facilitates rule authoring, fosters consistency in rules implementation and maintenance; facilitates developing authoritative knowledge repositories to promote quality, safety and efficacy of healthcare; and paves the road for future work in knowledge discovery.
