Incidence and Prevalence of Knee Osteoarthritis Using Codified and Narrative Data From Electronic Health Records: A Population-Based Study.
Article in Arthritis care & research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo determine the incidence and prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) using codified and narrative data from general practices throughout The Netherlands.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Integrated Primary Care Information database. Patients with codified knee OA were selected, and an algorithm was developed to identify patients with narratively diagnosed knee OA only. Point prevalence proportions and incidence rates among people age ≥30 years were assessed from 2008 to 2019. The association of comorbidities with codified knee OA was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.
resultsThe positive predicted value of narratively diagnosed knee OA only was 94.0% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 87.4-100%) and for codified knee OA 96.0% (95% CI 90.6-100%). Including narrative data in addition to codified data resulted in a prevalence 1.83-2.01 times higher (over the study years); prevalence increased from 5.8% to 11.8% between 2008 and 2019. The incidence rate was 1.93-2.28 times higher and increased from 9.98 per 1,000 person-years to 13.8 per 1,000 person-years between 2008 and 2019. Among patients with codified knee OA, 39.4% were previously diagnosed narratively with knee OA, on average ~3 years earlier. Comorbidities influenced the likelihood of being recorded with codified knee OA.
conclusionOur study of a Dutch primary care database showed that current incidence and prevalence estimates based on codified data alone from electronic health records are underestimated. Narrative data can be incorporated in addition to codified data to identify knee OA patients more accurately.
