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

objectiveTo summarize significant research contributions on cancer informatics published in 2021.

methodsAn extensive search using PubMed/MEDLINE and Altmetric scores was conducted to identify the scientific contributions published in 2021 that address topics in cancer informatics. The selection process comprised three steps: (i) 15 candidate best papers were first selected by the two section editors, (ii) external reviewers from internationally renowned research teams reviewed each candidate best paper, and (iii) the final selection of two best papers was conducted by the editorial board of the IMIA Yearbook.

resultsThe two selected best papers demonstrate some of the promises and shortcomings of real-world data.

conclusionCancer informatics is a maturing subfield of biomedical informatics. Applications of informatics methods to real-world data are especially notable in 2021.
