Sharing Clinical Notes with Hospitalized Patients via an Acute Care Portal.

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
Though several institutions offer hospitalized patients access to their medical records through acute care patient portals, no studies have assessed the potential impact of patients' access to physicians' notes through these systems. We employed a mixed-methods approach, including patient surveys, system usage log analysis, and qualitative interviews, to describe patients' perspectives on receiving their clinical notes and usage of the clinical notes feature in an acute care patient portal. Patients visited the clinical notes feature more frequently and for longer durations than any other feature. In qualitative interviews, patients reported improved access to information, better insight into their conditions, decreased anxiety, increased appreciation for clinicians, improvements in health behaviors, and more engagement in care. Our results suggest that sharing notes with hospitalized patients is feasible and beneficial, although further studies should investigate the magnitude of benefit and explore the unintended negative consequences associated with increased transparency of clinical information.
