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

The increasing digitization of healthcare has led to vast amounts of clinical data, much of which remains underutilized for research. While Health Level Seven (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) improves interoperability in clinical care, it's primarily designed for real-time data exchange to support diagnosis and treatment, rather than for secondary use of health data. As a result, transforming FHIR data into standardized models such as the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) remains a challenge. This study employs TermX, an open-source terminology and data interoperability platform designed to enhance health data interoperability and support knowledge management. This allowed us to create bidirectional transformation rules between FHIR and OMOP CDM. Using the Design Science methodology, we developed and validated a set of standardized transformation rules that support bidirectional mapping of vital signs data between FHIR and OMOP CDM. In these transformations we used synthetical FHIR JSON data, focusing on five main resources-
