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

Electronic health records (EHRs) have become increasingly relied upon as a source for biomedical research. One important research application of EHRs is the identification of biomarkers associated with specific patient states, especially within complex conditions. However, using EHRs for biomarker identification can be challenging because the EHR was not designed with research as the primary focus. Despite this challenge, the EHR offers huge potential for biomarker discovery research to transform our understanding of disease etiology and treatment and generate biological insights informing precision medicine initiatives. This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of how EHR data is currently used for phenotyping and identifying molecular biomarkers, current challenges and limitations, and strategies we can take to mitigate challenges going forward.
