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

The clinical pathway (CP) as a novel medical management schema is beneficial for reducing the length of stay, decreasing heath care costs, standardizing clinical activities, and improving medical quality. However, the practicability of CPs is limited by the complexity and expense of adding the standard functions of electronic CPs to existing electronic medical record (EMR) systems. The purpose of this study was to design and develop an independent clinical pathway (ICP) system that is sharable with different EMR systems. An innovative knowledge base pattern was designed with separate namespaces for global knowledge, local knowledge, and real-time instances. Semantic web technologies were introduced to support knowledge sharing and intelligent reasoning. The proposed system, which was developed in a Java integrated development environment, achieved standard functions of electronic CPs without modifying existing EMR systems and integration environments in hospitals. The interaction solution between the pathway system and the EMR system simplifies the integration procedures with other hospital information systems. Five categories of transmission information were summarized to ensure the interaction process. Detailed procedures for the application of CPs to patients and managing exceptional alerts are presented by explicit data flow analysis. Compared to embedded pathway systems, independent pathway systems feature greater feasibility and practicability and are more advantageous for achieving the normalized management of standard CPs.
