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

backgroundData element repositories facilitate high-quality medical data sharing by standardizing data and enhancing semantic interoperability. However, the application of repositories is confined to specific projects and institutions.

objectiveThis study aims to explore potential issues and promote broader application of data element repositories within the medical field by evaluating and analyzing typical repositories.

methodsFollowing the inclusion of 5 data element repositories through a literature review, a novel analysis framework consisting of 7 dimensions and 36 secondary indicators was constructed and used for evaluation and analysis.

resultsThe study's results delineate the unique characteristics of different repositories and uncover specific issues in their construction. These issues include the absence of data reuse protocols and insufficient information regarding the application scenarios and efficacy of data elements. The repositories fully comply with only 45% (9/20) of the subprinciples for Findable and Reusable in the FAIR principle, while achieving a 90% (19/20 subprinciples) compliance rate for Accessible and 67% (10/15 subprinciples) for Interoperable.

conclusionsThe recommendations proposed in this study address the issues to improve the construction and application of repositories, offering valuable insights to data managers, computer experts, and other pertinent stakeholders.
