1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Use of administrative data to inform decision making is now commonplace throughout the public sector, including program and policy evaluation. While reuse of these data can reduce costs, improve methodologies, and shorten timelines, challenges remain. This article informs evaluators about the growing field of Integrated Data Systems (IDS), and how to leverage cross-sector administrative data in evaluation work. This article is informed by three sources: a survey of current data integration efforts in the United States (U.S.) (N=63), informational interviews with experts, and internal knowledge cultivated through Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy's (AISP) 12+ years of work in the field. A brief discussion of the U.S. data integration context and history is provided, followed by discussion of tangible recommendations for evaluators, examples of evaluations relying on integrated data, and a list of U.S. IDS sites with publicly available processes for external data requests. Despite the challenges associated with reusing administrative data for program evaluation, IDS offer evaluators a new set of tools for leveraging data across institutional silos.
