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

Reality is defined as a real event, a real thing, or state of affairs. Reality exists in the places where we live our daily lives, in the relationships we have with others, and in our experiences, circumstances, and situations that occur across the lifespan. As the everydayness of our lives becomes increasingly digitized, data generated from the reality that exists outside of our healthcare encounters holds much promise to fill recognized gaps in real-world evidence (RWE). In the past decade, many factors have converged to uniquely position person-generated data for use in health care delivery, payment reform, product development, and regulatory decision making. Yet, real-world data will fall short of its promise to fill gaps in RWE if what we learn does not reflect the real lives of real people from across the spectrum of social, economic, and cultural experiences.
