Impact of computerised physician order entry (CPOE) on the incidence of chemotherapy-related medication errors: a systematic review.
Synthesis in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeComputerised prescriber (or physician) order entry (CPOE) implementation is one of the strategies to reduce medication errors. The extent to which CPOE influences the incidence of chemotherapy-related medication errors (CMEs) was not previously collated and systematically reviewed. Hence, this study was designed to collect, collate, and systematically review studies to evaluate the effect of CPOE on the incidence of CMEs.
methodsA search was performed of four databases from 1 January 1995 until 1 August 2019. English-language studies evaluating the effect of CPOE on CMEs were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. The total CMEs normalised to total prescriptions pre- and post-CPOE were extracted and collated to perform a meta-analysis using the 'meta' package in R. The systematic review was registered with PROSPERO CRD42018104220.
resultsThe database search identified 1621 studies. After screening, 19 studies were selected for full-text review, of which 11 studies fulfilled the selection criteria. The meta-analysis of eight studies with a random effects model showed a risk ratio of 0.19 (95% confidence interval: 0.08-0.44) favouring CPOE (I
conclusionThe studies have shown consistent reduction in CMEs after CPOE implementation, except one study that showed an increase in CMEs. The random effects model in the meta-analysis of eight studies showed that CPOE implementation reduced CMEs by 81%.
