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

Administrative claims data are big data generated from healthcare encounters. Claims data contain information on insurance payment as well as clinical diagnoses and procedure codes to ascertain medical conditions and treatments, making them valuable sources for economic evaluation research. This paper offers an introductory overview of the use of claims data for oncology-related cost-of-illness, cost comparison, and cost-effectiveness analyses. We reviewed analytical methods commonly employed in these analyses, such as the phase of care approach and net costing method for cost-of-illness studies, propensity score matching methods for cost comparison studies, and net benefit regression models for cost-effectiveness studies. We used published studies to explain each method and to discuss methodological challenges of conducting economic studies using claims data.
