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

Timely, consistent and integrated access to clinical trial data remains one of the pharmaceutical industry's most pressing needs. As part of a comprehensive clinical data repository, we have developed a data warehouse that can integrate operational data from any source, conform it to a canonical data model and make it accessible to study teams in a timely, secure and contextualized manner to support operational oversight, proactive risk management and other analytic and reporting needs. Our solution consists of a dimensional relational data warehouse, a set of extraction, transformation and loading processes to coordinate data ingestion and mapping, a generalizable metrics engine to enable the computation of operational metrics and key performance, quality and risk indicators and a set of graphical user interfaces to facilitate configuration, management and administration. When combined with the appropriate data visualization tools, the warehouse enables convenient access to raw operational data and derived metrics to help track study conduct and performance, identify and mitigate risks, monitor and improve operational processes, manage resource allocation, strengthen investigator and sponsor relationships and other purposes.
