Key considerations when using health insurance claims data in advanced data analyses: an experience report.
Article in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Health claims have become a popular source of data for healthcare analytics, with numerous applications ranging from disease burden estimation and policy evaluation to drug event detection and advanced predictive analytics. Independent of the application, a researcher utilising claims information will likely encounter challenges in using the data, which include dealing with several coding systems and coding irregularities. We highlight some of these challenges and approaches for successful analysis that may reduce implementation time and help in avoiding common pitfalls. We describe the experiences of a group of academic researchers in using an extensive seven-year repository of US medical and pharmaceutical claims data in a research study, and provide an overview of the challenges encountered with handling claims records for data analysis while sharing suggestions on how to address these challenges. To illustrate our experiences, we use the example of defining episodes of care for a bundled payment reimbursement system in the US context.
