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

Science advances at a slow pace but can be accelerated with a standard for computable expression of scientific knowledge, more precisely a technical standard for electronic data exchange of machine-interpretable data expressing scientific knowledge. Efforts to achieve this vision include Evidence-Based Medicine on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (EBMonFHIR), COVID-19 Knowledge Accelerator (COKA), Computable Publishing LLC, Scientific Knowledge Accelerator Foundation, and the Fast Evidence Interoperability Resources (FEvIR) Platform. The vision for communicating scientific research results to be instantly found, viewed, sent, received, and incorporated into thousands of system is a Just-in-time Evidence Dissemination and Integration (JEDI) vision. Reflections on JEDI teachings in a fun way helps explain the focus on the "Resource" to make science computable, how a precise specification of evidence changes perspectives, the need to reset standard terminologies, the inclusive nature of efforts to achieve the vision, and the critical demand to realize the vision.
