Article in Journal of registry management, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: Nontyphoidal Materials and Methods: We designed a 2-stage probabilistic linkage, starting with 17,587 records of enteric salmonellosis reported to Michigan Department of Health and Human Services between 1992 and 2020. These records did not include unique identifiers (such as Social Security number [SSN]). The initial linkage to LexisNexis address history was conducted to obtain information to calculate each person's time in Michigan as well as SSN for the second linkage. The linkage to the state cancer registry was performed to obtain the observed number of CRC cases, while the expected number of CRC cases was calculated according to corresponding state CRC incidence by age, sex, and calendar year. Results: Ninety-three percent of the initially identified salmonellosis records were sent to LexisNexis linkage, which returned address history, death, and SSN for 97% of the records. Further linkage to the statewide cancer registry identified 98 incident CRC cases. Overall, the observed-to-expected (O/E) ratio was not different from unity (0.833; 95% CI, 0.627-1.003). Conclusions: While the new linkage strategy was found effective and should be applicable to other health conditions, we cannot rule out bias due to incomplete or underreporting of the infection in estimating the risk of CRC.
