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

Health Information Exchange (HIE) between organizations is necessary to have more complete information and coordinate care. Given its nationwide footprint, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) connects and exchanges health information with a large number of organizations and consequently has a unique opportunity to experience most issues affecting clinical interoperability. The Veterans HIE Program manages these exchanges by focusing on patient engagement, provider adoption, partner relationship, technology platform, and performance. This paper analyzes the success and challenges of this program over the last five years, and offers valuable metrics and insights. Although significant progress has been made, nationwide interoperability remains fragmented and laborious, requiring multiple agreements and exchange methods. A future nationwide interoperability would embrace a single "on-ramp" to connect to everyone.
