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

Unlabelled: Interoperability has been designed to improve the quality and efficiency of health care. It allows the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to collect data on quality measures as a part of the Meaningful Use program. Covered providers who fail to provide data have lower rates of reimbursement. Unintended consequences also arise at each step of the data collection process: (1) providers are not reimbursed for the extra time required to generate data; (2) patients do not have control over when and how their data are provided to or used by the government; and (3) large datasets increase the chances of an accidental data breach or intentional hacker attack. After detailing the issues, we describe several solutions, including an appropriate data use review board, which is designed to oversee certain aspects of the process and ensure accountability and transparency.
