Methodology for the development of international clinical data standards for common cardiovascular conditions: European Unified Registries for Heart Care Evaluation and Randomised Trials (EuroHeart).
Article in European heart journal. Quality of care & clinical outcomes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 7 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimsData standards are consensual specifications for the representation of data arising from different sources. If provided with internationally harmonized variables, permissible values, and clinical definitions, they have the potential to enable reliable between- and within-country analysis of care and outcomes. The European Unified Registries for Heart Care Evaluation and Randomised Trials (EuroHeart) is a European Society of Cardiology project that allows participating countries to collect patient data to undertake quality improvement, observational studies, drug and device surveillance, and registry-based randomized controlled trials for cardiovascular conditions. This paper describes the methodology for development of harmonized data standards for EuroHeart. METHODS AND
resultsWe adopted a five-step process for the development of harmonized data standards. The process includes (i) identification of clinical domains for data standard development by evaluating specific cardiovascular conditions with high prevalence and opportunities for quality improvement; (ii) construction of data standard specifications by systematic review of the literature; (iii) selection of variables by a domain-specific Working Group using a modified Delphi method; (iv) validation of data standards by a domain-specific Reference Group; and (v) implementation of the developed data standards into an IT platform.
conclusionThis paper describes the approach adopted by EuroHeart for the development of clinical data standards for cardiovascular disease. The methodology has been developed and is used by EuroHeart to create a suite of international data standards for cardiovascular diseases. The EuroHeart data standards may be used to systematically capture individual patient data about clinical care and for research.
