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

objectives(1) Describe the evolution of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) into Health Data Utilities (HDUs); (2) Provide motivation for HDUs as a public strategic investment target. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examine trends in developing HIEs into HDUs and compare their criticality to that of the national highway system as an investment in the public good.

resultsWe propose that investment in HDUs is essential for our nation's healthcare data ecosystem. This investment will address the increased need for healthcare delivery and public health data. DISCUSSION: HDUs can meet the current and future needs of healthcare delivery and public health surveillance. Their structure and capabilities will underpin their success to support data-driven decision-making.

conclusionTransforming HIEs into HDUs is essential to realizing the vision of a distributed and connected healthcare data system. Public funding is critical for this model's success, similar to the continued investment in the national highway system.
