Computerized Electronic Order Set: Use and Outcomes for Heart Failure Following Hospitalization.
Article in CJC open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundQuality improvement initiatives improve health care delivery but may be resource intensive and disrupt clinical care. An embedded heart failure order set (HFOS) within a computerized physician order-entry system may mitigate these concerns.
methodsAn HFOS, based on proven interventions, was implemented within an existing computerized physician order-entry system in all adult acute-care hospitals in a single Canadian metropolitan city and interrogated between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2015. The composite of repeat hospitalization or death within 30 days of hospital discharge and hospital length of stay were reported.
resultsIn total, 8969 patients were included with mean age 75.6 ± 13.5 years; 4673 (52.1%) were male. The HFOS was used in 731 (8.2%) patients. After analysis of 724 pairs of propensity-score matched cohorts, patients with HFOS use experienced a lower median length of stay (8.6 vs 9.4 days,
conclusionsUse of a designated HFOS within a computerized physician order-entry system is associated with shorter hospital length of stay without increase in deaths or readmissions. These findings should be confirmed in a prospective controlled trial.
