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

The behavior of individuals can affect both their own health and the health of those around them. Furthermore, the behavior of healthcare providers obviously affects the health of those receiving the care. In both of these cases, and in spite of its known benefits, behavior change is difficult for most people. To make change easier, big data can provide insight through an objective and nonjudgmental perspective. It may also help make specific, individualized, evidence-based recommendations for effective change. We provide a historical perspective on data and health and then describe the value of adding big data systems and how they are implemented. We discuss some of the sources of big data and how it is collected. We also review the additional challenges for analysis, interpretation, and application of big data that require specific technologies. We end with a summary of current uses of big data for behavior change and suggestions for additional approaches, which may be of benefit.
