Characterizing Functional Health Status of Surgical Patients in Clinical Notes.
Article in AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science proceedings. AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Functional health status is an important factor not only for determining overall health, but also for measuring risks of adverse events. Our hypothesis is that important functional status data is contained in clinical notes. We found that several categories of phrases related to functional status including diagnoses, activity and care assessments, physical exam, functional scores, assistive equipment, symptoms, and surgical history were important factors. Use of functional health status level terms from our chart review compared to National Surgical Quality Improvement Program determination had varying sensitivities for correct functional status category identification, with 96% for independent patients, 60% for partially dependent patients, and 44% for totally dependent patients. Inter-rater agreement assessing term relevance to functional health status was high at 91% (Kappa=0.74). Functional status-related terms in clinical notes show potential for use in future methodologies for automated detection of functional health status for quality improvement registries and other clinical assessments.
