Integrative LHS for precision medicine research: A shared NIH and Taiwan CIMS experience.
Article in Learning health systems, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionPrecision medicine is an important milestone toward the attainment of personalized medicine. A learning health system (LHS) may facilitate the evidence collection and knowledge generation process for disease-based research and for the diagnosis, classification, or treatment of each disease subtype to improve patient care.
methodsThe LHS design and implementation used by Taichung Veterans General Hospital (TCVGH) in Taiwan for their newly funded precision medicine research, a dementia registry study, was modeled from an LHS developed at the National Institutes of Health in the United States. This Clinical Informatics and Management System (CIMS), including its subsystems, facilitates and enhances operations associated with the institutional review board, clinical research data collection and study management, the hospital biobank, and the participating health research centers to support their precision medicine research aimed at improving patient care.
resultsThe implementation of a shared-design, full-cycle LHS with an enhanced CIMS, combined with hospital-based real-world data marts, has made the TCVGH dementia registry study a reality. The research data, including clinical assessment and genomics analysis information collected in CIMS, combined with data marts, are the foundation of the TCVGH dementia registry for outcome analyses. These high-quality datasets are useful for clinical validation, new hypotheses, and knowledge generation, leading to new clinical recommendations or guidelines for better patient treatment and care. The cyclic data flow supports the full-cycle LHS for TCVGH's dementia research to improve the care of elderly patients.
conclusionsKnowledge generation requires high-quality research and health care datasets. While the details of LHS implementation methods in the United States and Taiwan may differ slightly, the LHS concept design and basic system architecture, with improved CIMSs, were proven feasible. As a result, learning health processes in support of translational research and the potential for improvement in patient care were significantly facilitated.
