Supporting rapid innovation in research data capture and management: the REDCap external module framework.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivesEstablishing a robust and secure framework allowing creation and sharing of custom features within the REDCap electronic data capture platform. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn partnership with REDCap Consortium members, we developed a framework for creating external modules enabling project-specific REDCap custom functionality (EM Framework). The EM Framework includes guidance and standard processes for developers to ensure basic functionality, compatibility, and security across REDCap instances. The EM Framework also includes an optional dissemination mechanism, the REDCap Repository of External Modules (Repo), for developers to easily share their work with other institutions in the REDCap Consortium.
resultsFrom the EM Framework's launch in 2017 through 2024, 356 external modules have been published to the Repo by software developers at 59 institutions. These modules have been used on 29 485 projects at 2107 institutions in 67 countries. Over time, features from 22 of these external modules have been integrated into the core REDCap code serving 7700+ REDCap Consortium members in 160 countries. DISCUSSION: The EM Framework permits developers to create, test, and deploy custom features to their local REDCap platform. It further enables a process to distribute these features to other REDCap administrators across the Consortium.
conclusionThe EM Framework has enhanced innovation in electronic data capture and dissemination of those innovations to a global research community.
