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 summarize recent public health informatics and precision epidemiology developments impacting the healthcare ecosystem. The influence of new technologies and precision approaches in surveillance and management of chronic diseases is high-lighted as areas of clinical practice where digital informatics can markedly improve pop-ulation health.

methodsIn this narrative review, we summarized the main themes from research and practice to define disease prevention and public health trends. Publications on public health informatics and precision epidemiology were searched using Google Scholar us-ing the following keywords: "digital informatics", "precision in prevention", "precision epi-demiology", "public health surveillance", "clinicogenomics" and combinations thereof. In addition, we introduced the principles of a clinicogenomics registry as a case study to empower underrepresented communities and to reduce health disparities.

resultsTechnology applications such as telehealth and digital information tools fre-quently intertwine with public health informatics and precision epidemiology in efforts to identify and target individuals and populations at risk of disease. There is an urgent need for more investigations and evaluation of the validity and utility of digital platforms, including artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analytics to advance precision preven-tion and epidemiology. The major precision-based opportunities identified included: (1) the utilization of digital tools, (2) a public health strategic framework, (3) tele-health/telemonitoring tools, (4) digital twins to simulate and optimize care models, (5) clinicogenomics registries, (6) biomarker analyses and omics panels, and (7) mobile health.

conclusionsSuccessful implementation of precision prevention and epidemiology ini-tiatives requires development of a researcher and practitioner workforce that is well-versed in informatics and public health. The positive impact of precision healthcare ap-proaches depends on solutions and technologies that connect digital patient information with wearable devices, mobile apps, telehealth, and digital analytics using AI. The vital components required to successfully integrate public health informatics, precision pre-vention and epidemiology are people, data, and tool systems, albeit within legal and ethical constraints. Together, these applications can significantly improve actionability of public health surveillance and societal trends in the preservation of health and disease prevention.
