The potential role of EHR data in optimizing eligibility criteria definition for cardiovascular outcome trials.
Article in International journal of medical informatics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) include patients with high risks for cardiovascular events based on specific inclusion criteria. Little is known about the impact of such inclusion criteria on patient accrual and the incidence rate of cardiovascular events. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe evaluated the impact of criteria on the accrual and the number of cardiovascular events in a cohort of 1544 diabetes patients identified from the clinical data warehouse of New York Presbyterian Hospital / Columbia University Irving Medical Center.
resultsThe highest incidence rate of the composite events (i.e., cardiovascular mortality, stroke, and myocardial infarction) was observed when the inclusion criteria seek patients with underlying cardiovascular diseases or age ≥ 60 with at least two of the risk factors including duration of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking status, and albuminuria.
conclusionOur study shows that the electronic health records could be utilized to optimize the inclusion criteria while balancing study inclusiveness and number of events.
