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

abstractReal-world evidence (RWE) has been used to improve quality of care, accelerate innovation, and evaluate emerging therapies for drugs, devices, and biologics. The Coordinated Registry Network (CRN), aggregating and linking highly curated patient data, has emerged as a model for RWE generation that has guided the development of the American Society of Hematology Research Collaborative (ASH RC) Data Hub. With the aim of bolstering research, enhancing clinical care, and expediting evidence generation using RWE, the ASH RC and the Innovative Genomics Institute launched a joint initiative, "Accelerating Innovations for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) with Real-World Evidence," to evaluate and make recommendations to the Data Hub. An expert panel used a "maturity model" to evaluate the following: (1) Data Hub standardization of RWE guidelines to ensure successful monitoring of new therapies' safety and effectiveness; and (2) the Data Hub's engagement with patients (including collection of data on patient experience) and collaboration among partners, including regulators, industry, and clinicians. The Data Hub gathers patient-level data from electronic health records, with plans to incorporate data from individuals receiving gene therapy. The program is currently curating and aggregating data on ∼27 000 individuals with SCD cared for across 22 hospitals in the United States. The SCD Data Hub program includes a total of 56 centers, some of which are not yet contributing data, which will increase the total cohort to ∼50 000 patients. The unique organizational structure of the CRN model facilitates acceleration of innovation through collaborative relationships between multiple clinical sites and partners with various evidentiary needs.
