The adoption of electronic medical record by physicians: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe electronic medical record (EMR) is considered to be a vital tool of information and communication technology (ICT) to improve the quality of medical care, but the limited adoption of EMR by physicians results in a considerable warning to its successful implementation. The purpose of the present review is to explore and identify the potential barriers perceived by physicians in the adoption of EMR.
methodsThe systematic review was carried out based on literature published in 5 databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and ProQuest from 2014 to 2018, concerning barriers perceived by physicians to the adoption of EMR.
resultsThe present study incorporates 26 articles based on their appropriateness out of 1354 for the final analysis. Authors explore 25 barriers that appeared 112 times in the literature for the present review; the top 5 frequently mentioned barriers are privacy and security concerns, high start-up cost, workflow changes, system complexity, lack of reliability, and interoperability.
conclusionThe systematic review explores that physicians deal with different barriers as they intend to adopt EMR. The barriers explored in the present review are the potential to play as references for the implementer of the EMR system. Thus an attentive analysis of the definitive condition is needed before relevant intervention is determined as the implementation of EMR must be considered as a behavioral change in medical practice.
