Implementation of electronic medical records: effect on the provision of preventive services in a pay-for-performance environment.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo study the effect of electronic medical record (EMR) implementation on preventive services covered by Ontario's pay-for-performance program.
designProspective double-cohort study.
participantsTwenty-seven community-based family physicians.
settingToronto, Ont.
interventionEighteen physicians implemented EMRs, while 9 physicians continued to use paper records.
main outcome measureProvision of 4 preventive services affected by pay-for-performance incentives (Papanicolaou tests, screening mammograms, fecal occult blood testing, and influenza vaccinations) in the first 2 years of EMR implementation.
resultsAfter adjustment, combined preventive services for the EMR group increased by 0.7%, a smaller increase than that seen in the non-EMR group (P = .55, 95% confidence interval -2.8 to 3.9).
conclusionWhen compared with paper records, EMR implementation had no significant effect on the provision of the 4 preventive services studied.
