Improving the Patient-Clinician Interface of Clinical Trials through Health Informatics Technologies.
Review in Journal of medical systems, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The current state of clinical trials underscores a need for timely interventions to reduce the cost and length of the average trial. Newly developed health informatics technologies-including electronic health records, telemedicine systems, and mobile health applications-have recently been employed in a wide range of clinical trials in an effort to improve different aspects of the clinical trial process. The current review will focus on the observed benefits and drawbacks of using such technology to improve various patient-centered aspects of the clinical trial process, namely its potential to improve patient recruitment, patient retention, and data collection. Broad future challenges and opportunities in the field as a whole will also be covered.
