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

Broad access to health data offers great potential for science and research. However, health data often contains sensitive information that must be protected in a special way. In this context, the article deals with the re-identification potential of health data. After defining the relevant terms, we discuss factors that influence the re-identification potential. We summarize international privacy standards for health data and highlight the importance of background knowledge. Given that the reidentification potential is often underestimated in practice, we present strategies for mitigation based on the Five Safes concept. We also discuss classical data protection strategies as well as methods for generating synthetic health data. The article concludes with a brief discussion and outlook on the planned Health Data Lab at the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices.
