Garbage In, Garbage Out? Negative Impact of Physiological Waveform Artifacts in a Hospital Clinical Data Warehouse.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 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
Hospitals around the world are deploying increasingly advanced systems to collect and store high-resolution physiological patient data for quality improvement and research. However, data accuracy, completeness, consistency, and contextual validity remain issues. This report highlights a data artifact known as waveform clipping in our hospital's physiological data capture system that went unnoticed for years, limiting data analysis and delaying several research projects. We aim to raise awareness in the medical informatics community about the importance of careful system setup, ongoing data validation, and close cooperation between clinicians and data scientists.
