Sustained Improvement in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality Measures Using an Electronic Health Record Intervention.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition with wide variation in treatment and resource utilization because of many different disease presentations and treatment options. In an effort to standardize care and improve health outcomes, several organizations have created performance measures to monitor various aspects of IBD care.
objectivesWe aimed to assess longitudinal documentation adherence with physician quality reporting system's (PQRS) IBD performance measures before, immediately after, and 1 year following the implementation of a comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) IBD clinical documentation support tool intervention.
methodsWe reviewed 50 patient charts that were randomly selected from consecutive outpatient IBD visits at our tertiary care center from September 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016, prior to implementation of an IBD-specific note template, order set, and patient education handout on September 1, 2016. Two additional cohorts of 50 patient charts were randomly selected from September 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 and September 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. These charts were reviewed to assess adherence of pertinent PQRS performance measures for outpatient IBD care. The project was deemed not human subjects research and received exempt approval by the Institutional Review Board (IRB#: IRB00040399).
resultsThe cohort immediately after the intervention showed significant increases in documentation rates of influenza immunization (19-59%,
conclusionA multifaceted, EHR focused approach can significantly and sustainably improve documentation of outpatient IBD quality measures.
