Concordance in the recording of stroke across UK primary and secondary care datasets: a population-based cohort study.
Article in BJGP open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundPrevious work has demonstrated that the recording of acute health outcomes, such as myocardial infarction (MI), may be suboptimal in primary healthcare databases.
aimTo assess the completeness and accuracy of the recording of stroke in UK primary care. DESIGN &
settingA population-based longitudinal cohort study.
methodCases of stroke were identified separately in Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care records and linked Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). The recording of events in the same patient across the two datasets was compared. The reliability of strategies to identify fatal strokes in primary care and hospital records was also assessed.
resultsOf the 75 674 stroke events that were identified in either CPRD or HES data during the period of the study, 54 929 (72.6%) were recorded in CPRD and 51 013 (67.4%) were recorded in HES. Two-fifths (
conclusionThe completeness and accuracy of stroke recording is improved by the use of linked hospital and primary care records. For studies that have a time-sensitive research question, the use of linked, as opposed to stand-alone, CPRD data is strongly recommended.
