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

The National Library of Medicine (NLM)'s Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) is a crowd-sourced repository with a potential for substantial discrepancy among value sets for the same clinical concepts. To characterize this potential problem, we identified the most common chronic conditions affecting US adults and assessed for discrepancy among VSAC ICD-10-CM value sets for these conditions. An analysis of 32 value sets for 12 conditions identified that a median of 45% of codes for a given condition were potentially problematic (included in at least one, but not all, theoretically equivalent value sets). These problematic codes were used to document clinical care for potentially over 20 million patients in a data warehouse of approximately 150 million US adults. Users of VSAC diagnosis value sets should be cognizant of the prevalence of these discrepancies and take proactive steps to mitigate their impact. Further research is warranted to characterize and address this issue.
