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

Timely surveillance of cancer treatment requires real-time integration of electronic health records (EHR) data into population-based registries. We validated data from the Datagateway, an automated system that harmonizes structured EHR data across hospitals into a common model to support near real-time enrichment of the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR). Data from patients with acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, lung cancer, and breast cancer were extracted via the Datagateway and compared to NCR data and EHR source data. The system achieved 100% accuracy compared to registered NCR diagnoses, and an accuracy of 95% when comparing new diagnoses to the NCR inclusion criteria. Treatment was correctly identified in all cases, with only 3% of combination therapies misclassified. Laboratory values matched virtually completely; toxicity indicators showed 72%-100% accuracy. Automated real-time EHR data integration using a harmonized model is feasible and reliable, enabling scalable, high-quality support for real-world oncology research.
