Agreement between questionnaire data and medical records of chronic diseases in middle-aged and elderly Finnish men and women.
Article in American journal of epidemiology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
The agreement between self-reported diseases in a questionnaire survey and data from medical records was assessed in a representative sample of Finnish men and women (n = 596) aged 45-73 years. The accumulated medical record information was abstracted from the records in the health centers and the central hospital in the study region. The agreement between the two information sources was substantial (kappa 0.73-0.80) for cardiovascular diseases as a group, hypertension, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and diabetes. The lowest agreement (kappa < 0.55) was found for lower back disorder, hip and knee arthrosis, and claudication. These results showed that the agreement between questionnaire data and medical records was good for well-known chronic diseases that have clear diagnostic criteria and are easily communicated to the patient. Conversely, the agreement was poor for diseases with nonestablished diagnostic criteria and a fluctuating course.
