Digital maturity: are we ready to use technology in the NHS?
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Digital maturity assessments (DMAs) are a self-assessment mechanism for organisations. They can be effectively utilised to generate local digital roadmaps. In their simplest form, these allow organisations to understand their state of readiness to integrate digital technologies. This is achieved by assessing the capability and compatibility of their information systems to communicate or interface both within and across organisations. Through utilising and responding to the findings of DMAs, it is thought that the NHS will be better able to provide a patient-centred service to meet local needs within a national framework. It is this exchange and integration of information across health and social care systems that will drive innovation and transformation in the NHS.
