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

objectivesTo explore data security risks associated with trauma medical data within hospitals in China, identify and explore the potential underlying factors contributing to these risks and collect suggestions from different stakeholders.

designThis is a qualitative study involving two types of hospital personnel. Data analysis was performed using thematic analysis.

settingThe study was conducted in 21 tertiary hospitals from 12 provinces in China, distributed across the eastern, central and western regions of the country. The interviews were conducted between April and August 2022.

participantsA total of 27 respondents (7 department heads and 20 doctors) were interviewed through stratified purposive sampling.

resultsData security risks associated with trauma medical data might arise from trauma physicians' inadequate management of trauma data, the absence of trauma data administrators and data management systems and the lack of security measures for trauma databases. Feasible suggestions included training trauma physicians, establishing a trauma data administrator and a trauma data management system and improving basic data security protection measures.

conclusionsDetermining the risks of trauma medical data security and providing tailored suggestions contribute to the development of healthcare data governance in China. This research establishes a foundation for addressing the current risks related to trauma medical data security and could contribute to efforts to improve the overall capacity of trauma data management in China.
