Synthesis in Journal of diabetes science and technology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07252700 (Preventing Diabetes), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundDiabetes treatment and management provide a unique opportunity for examination of the effectiveness of electronic health records (EHRs) on patient health outcomes, continuity of care, and areas for further development. This systematic literature review was designed to identify the strengths and limitations of EHR and opportunities for improvement proposed in original research and recent rigorous systematic reviews.

methodsThis review utilized methodology adapted from PRISMA. Inclusion criteria for original research were published between March 2003 and November 2017; included randomized controlled trial design with participants ≥18 years of age with diabetes diagnosis ≥1 year; measured outcomes included HbA1c, blood pressure, and LDL cholesterol levels. Criteria for systematic reviews included research focused on EHR outcomes, improvement of care for patients with diabetes, prevention of adverse outcomes, web-based communication, and limitations of EHR regarding chronic disease management. Thirteen articles qualified for inclusion.

resultsMeta-synthesis of articles suggests that chronic disease patients benefit most by decision support tools that alert physicians of drug interactions, communication tools that keep them informed and engaged in their treatment regimens and detailed reporting and tracking designed to inform progress. Collective results suggest that EHR technology is advancing rapidly; however, patient outcomes documented via EHR systems remain largely unknown.

conclusionA fertile area for inquiry designed to enhance patient outcomes in diabetes and chronic disease management is determining how EHR systems can be utilized for new drug and treatment options in addition to enhancing the quality, cost-effectiveness, and continuity of care.
