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

Introduction: To support the development of the National Trauma Research Repository (NTRR), a multidisciplinary workgroup used a consensus-driven approach to review established social determinants of health data elements and recommend trauma common data elements (CDEs) for inclusion in the NTRR data dictionary. Methods: A 13-member workgroup of military and civilian trauma researchers and data scientists located and reviewed databases, codebooks, screening toolkits, and published articles for data elements relevant to social determinants of health. Identified data elements were reviewed in a three-round Delphi survey and monthly meetings with the workgroup were conducted. Consensus during the Delphi survey was identified with an 80% agreement threshold. Results: 18 sources were reviewed for data elements relevant to social determinants of health. After the three-round Delphi and post-Delphi workgroup discussions, 29 (42%) data elements, 11 (73%) toolkits, and two (67%) medical terminologies reached consensus for inclusion. Discussion: The resulting standardized CDEs will improve data harmonization and support consistent data collection in the NTRR. These CDEs represent an initial framework and serve as a foundational starting point for social determinants of health data collection within the NTRR. As researchers use the NTRR, the list of CDEs will grow and evolve with the needs of the trauma research community. Level of evidence: Level VII.
