Surrogate Biomarkers for Monitoring Healthcare Quality for Chronic Diseases Such as Diabetes Care.
Review in EJIFCC, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Some laboratory tests or biomarkers are used as surrogate outcomes for health care effectiveness. HbA1c is defined as a surrogate biomarker since HbA1c values have been approved to be used in predictions of clinically important complications of diabetes mellitus. With the advance of information technology (IT) the real life data are aggregating as electronic health records (EHRs). About 70-85% of individuals admitted to hospitals have laboratory test results. As such, medical laboratories are the data centers in the hospitals. The test results can be used for assessment of health care delivered, especially for chronic diseases. This information provides insights of healthcare services, and can be used to enhance for individual and population well-being, research, and education. This article focuses on the importance of using laboratory tests results as outcome measures for specific population health status that are important in assessing the quality of health care services. The findings from our studies on the diabetic care quality is presented.
