A Framework for Performance Comparison among Major Electronic Health Record Systems.
Article in Perspectives in health information managemen, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
While nearly all hospitals have adopted electronic health record (EHR) systems, some are dissatisfied and considering replacement systems to better address unique organizational needs and priorities. With more than 4,000 certified health information technology products available, comparing the vast number of EHR options is complex. This study tested the hypothesis that various EHR systems demonstrate different financial and quality performance and presented a framework for comparison. Using a subscribed database containing US hospitals' observations from 2011 to 2016, we estimated an ordinary least squares regression model with robust standard errors and clustered by year. We regressed the selected finance and quality measures as dependent variables with the vendors' indicators as independent variables, with control variables. This study demonstrated an approach for analyzing performance data to help hospitals distinguish EHR systems on the basis of several organizational outcomes: return on assets, bed utilization rate, Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) summary star rating, and value-based purchasing Total Performance Score. This framework will help EHR acquisition teams make informed decisions.
