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

This paper describes initial experience with the Web-based Patient Clinical Information System (PatCIS). The system was designed to serve as a framework for the integration of applications that help patients access their electronic medical record, add data to their record, review on-line health information, and apply their own clinical data (automatically) to guideline programs that offer health advice. The architecture supports security functions and records user activities, relieving application developers from concerns about safe information practices and the evaluation process. PatCIS is being used to study the social and cognitive impact of allowing patients to have access to their health records via the Web. To date, PatCIS has grown to include 15 clinical functions and 4 dynamic links to literature (called infobuttons). Eleven patients have been enrolled since April, 1999; five have been active users. Experience shows that the PatCIS architecture supports application integration while providing adequate security and evaluation functions. Initial caution with the patient enrollment process has limited recruitment and, consequently, usage. However, experience thus far suggests that PatCIS has good usability and utility. No adverse events, including undesirable impact on doctor-patient interactions, have been reported. There do not appear to be any technical impediments to scaling up the enrollment to continue to observe patient usage.
