  string(1612) "Background: Reproduction of research findings has been identified as one potential area to reduce waste and improve efficiency in research. (1)   Our team at the Cochrane Heart Group US Satellite at Northwestern University is interested in developing skills for reproducibility research to understand the challenges and opportunities to improve the process of research reproduction in cardiovascular medicine. The Yale Open Data Access (YODA) project includes one trial within cardiovascular medicine that is eligible for reproduction.  

Objective: To conduct an independent reproduction and re-analysis of results from the THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH? Catheter for the Treatment of Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation trial (NCT01385202).  Reproduction and re-analysis will be completed utilizing data collected through the YODA Project platform.

Study Design: Re-analysis of a randomized, controlled clinical trial. 

Participants: Patients selected into and studied in the THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH? Catheter for the Treatment of Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation trial.

Main Outcome Measures: Arrhythmia free survival. 

Statistical Analysis: We will evaluate the frequencies of baseline demographics and clinical/procedural characteristics of trial participants as mean (SD) or n (%). We will compare reported study results with our results using Fisher?s exact test, Chi-squared test, two-sample t-test, or Wilcoxon sign rank test, as appropriate. We will plot Kaplan-Meier survival curves along with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals based on the available data."
  ["project_brief_bg"]=>
  string(2434) "In January of 2015, the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) released a report titled Sharing Clinical Trial Data: Maximizing Benefits, Minimizing Risk. (2)  One of the guiding principles described in this report was to increase public trust in clinical trials and promote sharing of trial data.  There has recently been increasing recognition that the results of many studies (basic science, pre-clinical, and clinical research alike) published in high-profile journals cannot be reproduced or replicated, a dilemma labeled by some as the reproducibility crisis. (3)  Similarly, reports have shown that there is little re-analysis conducted of the medical literature, and when re-analysis does occur, it is often completed by members of the original authorship and is therefore not independent.(4) Furthermore, re-analyses often have different findings than the original report; for instance a large systematic review of reanalysis trials found that 35% of published reanalysis papers came to different conclusions than the original paper.(4)  This is a notable finding because reproducibility of results and independent verification are considered important pillars of the scientific method.  In response, there has been a large push among many in the scientific community, including the NAM, to create more open and public access to large clinical trial data.  

One of the main challenges in the open data initiative has been the lack of platforms to house and distribute data in an efficient and accessible manner.  The Yale University Open Data Access (YODA) Project, along with their Data Holder partners, is focused on research transparency, which is an important step towards achieving the principles listed in the NAM report.(5)  Our primary research focus will be re-analysis and reproduction of trial results requested through the YODA database.  We aim to reproduce the results by explicitly following the methods laid out within the text of the article, as well as any online supplements, and to apply these methods to the data collected through the YODA database.  The results of this exercise will be used to identify challenges and opportunities to reproducibility research in cardiovascular medicine, which is likely to become more important as more data become available.  Our ultimate objective is to ensure greater confidence in trial results that lead to advances in research and improvements in human health."

EXPLORATORY AIM 2: To identify the challenges and opportunities of reanalysis through the reproduction of results from the THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH? Catheter for the Treatment of Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation trial.

Because this aim is exploratory, we do not have a pre-specified hypothesis.  Our primary objective from this aim will be to develop solutions that overcome potential challenges and accentuate opportunities for more effective reproducibility research in cardiovascular medicine."
