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

purposeThe era of the electronic health record (EHR) generates the ability to systematically collect and record innumerable data for complex procedures such as videourodynamic studies (VUDS). We developed a Structured Data Entry System (SDES) that would serve as a way to better standardize VUDS for both quality improvement and research capabilities.

methodsA working group convened to design a SDES form for VUDS in a flow sheet format in our hospital's EHR, allowing for easy integration of the information into the clinical encounter note and for weekly export of data to clinicians in spreadsheet form.

resultsAnalysis of weekly VUDS data revealed that entries were missing in 3% of cells in all SDES forms completed. The availability of the data in an Excel spreadsheet allows for easy manipulation, calculation of clinical variables, and streamlined analysis in figures or graphs to identify patients at the highest risk.

conclusionDesigning and implementing a SDES based on a flowsheet that can allow data to be placed seamlessly in the clinical record and to be integrated into a searchable database for quality improvement and research purposes allows one to harness the true potential of the EHR.
