The role of electronic medical record in care delivery in developing countries.
Article in International journal of information management, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectivesElectronic medical record (EMR) is not only being welcomed by healthcare providers as a way to improve care delivery but also serves as a catalyst for development. The purpose of this study is to examine benefits of EMR and its ultimate contribution to development of healthcare delivery.
designThis is a qualitative, explorative, and descriptive study using survey questionnaires and a sample size of 50 at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana.
resultsResults from the research indicate the importance of an EMR system in developing countries to facilitate effective and efficient data collection, data entry, information retrieval and report generation, and research. However, developed nations are not doing enough to help developing countries implement modern technology necessary to facilitate care delivery.
conclusionsTo achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) number 8 by 2015, developed nations must assist poor countries to develop their human capital, funds and work with the local community to design and implement system friendly with their environment to transform and improve care delivery development.
