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

Poor communication of health information between healthcare providers is associated with over 80% of medical errors that occur during transitions of care [1]. We interviewed a diverse sample of primary care providers and surgical providers during their patient's transitions of care before and after surgery at a Veteran's Health Administration hospital and a large tertiary academic medical center to understand how providers communicate and exchange health information for medically complex older patient across different care settings. Our objective was to identify factors that lead to poor communication as well as strategies to optimize provider-provider communication. This paper highlights the methods providers use to communicate and document health information within two separate electronic medical record (EMR) systems during transition of care and presents a conceptual diagram of how information exchange occurs within these two EMR systems.
