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

backgroundHospital Information System (HIS) is a type of health information system which is widely used in clinical settings. Determining the success rate of HISs is an ongoing area of research since its implications are of interest for researchers, physicians and managers.

aimIn the present study, we develop a novel instrument to measure HIS success rate based on users' viewpoints in a teaching hospital.

methodsThe study was conducted in Ebnesina and Dr Hejazi Psychiatric Hospital and education centre in Mashhad, Iran. The instrument for data collection was a self-administered structured questionnaire based on ISSM, covering seven dimensions, which includes system quality, information quality, service quality, system use, usefulness, satisfaction, and net benefits. The verification of content validity was carried out by an expert panel. The internal consistency of dimensions was measured by Cronbach's alpha. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to evaluate the significance of associations between dimensions. The HIS success rate on users' viewpoints was determined.

resultsA total of 125 users participated in the study. The instrument was validated by an expert panel with the Content Validity Index (CVI): 0.85 and Content Validity Ratio (CVR): 0.86. The overall Cronbach's alpha value of the instrument was 0.93. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed significant positive relationships among the investigated dimensions. On average, HIS success rate in the hospital under study was 65% (CI: 64%, 67%). The dimensions of "usefulness", "system quality", and "net benefits" showed the highest rates of success, respectively.

conclusionThe instrument used in this study can be adopted for HIS evaluation in future studies. In the current study, a method was developed to determine the HIS success rate based on users' viewpoints. This method allows for the comparison of HIS success rates in various hospitals. As well, our findings underscore the viewpoints of HIS users in a developing country.'
