[Data integration centers-from a concept in the Medical Informatics Initiative to its local implementation in the Network of University Medicine].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
As part of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII), data integration centers (DICs) have been established at 38 university and 3 non-university locations in Germany since 2018. At DICs, research and healthcare data are collected. The DICs represent an important pillar in research and healthcare. They establish the technical, organizational, and (ethical) data protection requirements to enable cross-site research with the available routine clinical data.This article presents the three main pillars of DICs: ethical-legal framework, organization, and technology. The organization of DICs and their organizational embedding and interaction are presented, as well as the technical infrastructure. The services that a DIC provides for its own location and for external researchers are explained, and the role of the DIC as an internal and external interface for strengthening cooperation and collaboration is outlined.Legal conformity, organization, and technology form the basis for the processes and structures of a DIC and are decisive for how it is integrated into the healthcare and research landscape of a location, but also for how it can react to national and European requirements and act and function as an interface to the outside world. In this context and with regard to national developments (e.g., introduction of the electronic patient file-ePA), but also international and European initiatives (e.g., European Health Data Space-EHDS), the DIC will play a central role in the future.
