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

Precision health extends beyond the scope of precision medicine and involves a broader range of activities, including the prediction, prevention, treatment, and management of diseases. Tailored to specific populations, precision health offers personalized treatment and preventive measures considering genetics, lifestyle behaviors, social determinants of health, and environmental factors. Precision medicine focuses on the personalized treatment of diseases, whereas precision health aims to promote health and prevent diseases using tools such as big data and advanced analytics to predict health risks and prevent diseases at the population level. Biobanks play a crucial role in achieving precision health because they provide well-characterized biological samples and related data for disease prediction, diagnosis, and treatment. Challenges in integrating different biobanks include data format consistency, privacy concerns, and legal constraints. Standardized methodologies and digitalization can mitigate these challenges. The integration of biobanks can facilitate comprehensive analyses across multiple datasets to achieve various research goals. This study proposes strategies to address these challenges, including the development of a dynamic consent mechanism for population-based biobanks using digitalization and blockchain technology. This study recommends the following: 1) integrating population-based biobanks, 2) introducing dynamic consent tools for human biobanks, and 3) using large human biobanks with dynamic consent for research on diverse diseases. These recommendations can increase the utility of biobanks in realizing precision health. A case study implemented at Taoyuan Tiansheng Hospital demonstrated the effectiveness of these recommendations for achieving precision health and enhancing the value of biobanks. Through a comprehensive examination of precision health and biobanks, this study provides valuable insights for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers in the precision healthcare sector.
