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

backgroundAlthough momentum is now building nationally for improved informatics, progress has been incremental in most cases. One notable exception is the Veterans Health Administration, which utilizes one of the most widely used electronic medical record systems in the world.

objectivesThe articles in this symposium demonstrate the implementation of technology to move beyond the electronic medical record at the time of the medical encounter to improve timeliness and outcomes of care delivery for veterans with diabetes.

resultsWe report on the use of electronic registries and nurse practitioner-based programs across multiple sites to improve glycemic control; the implementation of a digital retinal imaging system in primary care clinics; the use of health information technology to improve patient self-care; and the development of a research database to move beyond performance measurement to evaluate longitudinal outcomes.

conclusionsWhile these articles demonstrate the ability of a single national system of care to harness the power of technology to novel strategies for the delivery of care and its evaluation, the technology is scalable from small group practices to regional health care systems.
