Use of simulated physician handoffs to study cross-cover chart biopsy in the electronic medical record.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Clinical handoffs involve the rapid transfer of patient information from one provider or team to another, through activities which may introduce errors and affect care delivery. "Cross-coverage" requires quickly familiarizing oneself with unfamiliar patients whose management plans were established by another provider or team. Through this work, we describe physicians' information seeking approaches within an electronic medical record (EMR) during physician handoff and chart biopsy at a major academic medical center. We conducted simulated handoff sessions and interviews with 21 physicians using standardized patient cases and we analyzed screen capture data, and video and audio recordings of interactions with the EMR and handoff printouts. We found highly variable navigation of the EMR but greater similarity in physicians' EMR navigation behavior when the chart review was prompted by simulated interruptions. Understanding how physicians seek and assimilate patient data can inform handoff tool design and suggest strategies for explicitly supporting EMR chart biopsies.
