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

Countries have been routinely abstracting health data from hospital charts and coding conditions using ICD-10. A main condition must be assigned to each admission. However, the definition of main condition is inconsistent across countries, and may be based on (1) the initial reason for admission; (2) the reason for admission, as understood at the end of the hospital stay; and (3) the condition that consumed the most hospital resources or hospital days. Now, ICD-11 standardizes the coding schema for main condition. This paper describes the ICD-11 coding guidelines for main condition and discusses their implications for data comparability.
