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

Personal medical information is an essential resource for research; however, there are laws that regulate its use, and it typically has to be pseudonymized or anonymized. When data are anonymized, the quantity and quality of extractable information decrease significantly. From the perspective of a clinical researcher, a method of achieving pseudonymized data without degrading data quality while also preventing data loss is proposed herein. As the level of pseudonymization varies according to the research purpose, the pseudonymization method applied should be carefully chosen. Therefore, the active participation of clinicians is crucial to transform the data according to the research purpose. This can contribute to data security by simply transforming the data through secondary data processing. Case studies demonstrated that, compared with the initial baseline data, there was a clinically significant difference in the number of datapoints added with the participation of a clinician (from 267,979 to 280,127 points,
