Benefits and challenges of electronic health record system on stakeholders: a qualitative study of outpatient physicians.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Electronic health record system (EHRS) is an important healthcare innovation associated with many controversies about the benefits and challenges to different stakeholders. The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of EHRS by outpatient physicians in Macao and to identify, in their opinions, the significance of EHRS on health institutes, patients, and physicians. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 32 physicians who worked in the outpatient department. The interview data showed that 78% physicians interviewed used EHRS frequently during their daily practice despite individual preferences of documentation methods. They agreed that systemic health record offered by EHRS allowing smooth communication was beneficial to the health institutes, patients and physicians. However, privacy and confidentiality concerned both the health institutes and patients. Inefficiency of the EHRS that only allowed retrieval of limited medical information of the patients hindered physicians' acceptability of EHRS. It was also suggested that the health institutes should take into consideration interests of different stakeholders when designing and implementing EHRS.
