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

introductionData-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) plays a pivotal role in healthcare, specifically patient management. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technologies used in DDDM and provide a framework of how DDDM is involved in patient management. METHODOLOGY: This study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) framework, studies from Web of Science, Pubmed, and Embase are screened for consideration. The inclusion criteria are outlined to identify studies on patient management utilizing DDDM.

resultThe studies included in the review explore DDDM in patient management from data-driven approaches to decision making methods. In the former, artificial intelligence, together with other methods, is the dominant method utilized. As a comparison, the decision support system, Markov decision process, and shared decision making are exploited in the latter. Disease diagnosis and treatment was the most common area of patient management application along with precision medicine, patient care, nursing, and other related fields of patient management. A framework of how DDDM is involved in patient management was identified.

conclusionWhile challenges such as data quality and interpretability exist, advantages of DDDM lie in unprecedented personalization, streamlined decision-making, and the potential for a future where technology complements healthcare expertise for more effective and patient-centered care. DDDM is not only a useful option for patient management but also to many other aspects of healthcare and the systems around healthcare.
