Data quality of administratively collected hospital discharge data for liver cirrhosis epidemiology.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
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.
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
We estimated the validity, i.e., whether the diagnostic criteria were fulfilled for the patients registered with the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis in a Danish hospital discharge registry, and the completeness, i.e., whether all patients with liver cirrhosis were included in the registry. Information in the regional hospital discharge registry in the Country of Aarhus, Denmark was compared with hospital records and information in a pathology registry. 85.4% of the patients registered with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis (validity). 93.2% of the patients registered with biopsy proven liver cirrhosis in the pathology registry were found in the discharge registry (completeness) with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. The hospital discharge registry showed relatively few misclassifications and the Danish National Registry of Patients (NRP), which is based on the regional registries, may provide a unique study base for future research.
