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

One overall objective of Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) is to improve patient education and to enhance the patient experience through the use of information technology (IT) so as to facilitate the sharing of information between providers and their patients. The research project reported on herein took place at University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto (Canada), which is a large academic health science center with multiple hospital sites in the city. As a first step in this process, we examined the literature to investigate the human factors issues related to healthcare as well as other settings. Subsequently, we interviewed a number of interested stakeholders from two groups: the physicians (both family and attending) and the patients themselves. Finally, using a simulation environment, we explored the content that UHN lung-transplant patients would be interested in having within their own EPRs. In this paper, we report on the research, the methodology and the findings pertaining to the both the content and the design of an electronic patient record.
