Challenges to Global Standardization of Outcome Measures.
Review in AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science proceedings. AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 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
Global standardization of outcome measures for disease states can help researchers and healthcare providers compare healthcare institutions' and populations' health outcomes. Despite the creation of standardized outcome sets, clinical institutions' adoption of these sets is not common. A literature review shows that among the challenges to standardizing outcome measures include the difficulties of achieving consensus in the working groups creating these outcome sets, the tradeoffs made when selecting outcome measurement tools, and the high costs of implementing a new or different set of outcome measures. The duplication of effort to create these standard sets can also limit standardization, which could be minimized through increased transparency of how these standard sets are developed. We propose some approaches to improve how to create and implement standard sets to broaden their usability across institutions.
