Developing and Sustaining an Open Source Electronic Health Record: Evidence from a Field Study in Japan.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2020. 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
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are at the heart of reforms aimed at improving the efficiency and quality of healthcare services provided to citizens. Although there is still some skepticism, open source (OS) EHR is a growing phenomenon in health informatics. Given the widespread adoption of OS software (OSS) in several domains, including operating systems, and enterprise systems, the repeated shortfalls faced by healthcare organizations with dominant proprietary EHRs create an opportunity for other alternatives, such as OSS to demonstrate their abilities in addressing these well-documented problems, including inflexibility, high costs, and low interoperability. However, scholars have expressed extensive concerns about the sustainability of OS EHR. Recognizing that OSS project sustainability relies on their governance arrangements, this case study reports on the evolution of the governance and sustainability of a Japanese OS EHR project and provides rich insights to other open source EHR initiative stakeholders, including physicians, developers, researchers, and policy-makers.
