Geisinger's effort to realize its potential as a learning health system: A progress report.
Article in Learning health systems, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesIn the last two decades, several organizational initiatives have moved Geisinger into closer alignment with the key characteristics of the learning health system (LHS) model. The intent of this experience report is to provide a firsthand view of the potential of the model and of the complex, multifaceted nature of any endeavor designed and implemented to realize that potential.
methodsAfter describing Geisinger, we offer a critical self-assessment of our progress toward the goal of becoming an LHS, followed by an account of the challenges.
resultsGeisinger has made incremental but measurable progress in implementing the LHS model, especially in two key domains: in patient-clinician engagement and science and informatics. Other challenges, however, present significant opportunities for additional forward movement, especially with respect to incentives, culture, and leadership.
conclusionBecoming a fully realized LHS is and will be a long-term challenge for any organization that embraces this aspiration.
