ENHANCING USEFULNESS AND USABILITY OF A CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT PROTOTYPE FOR ANTIBIOTIC STEWARDSHIP.
Article in Proceedings of the International Symposium of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare. International Symposium of Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare, 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
Human factors engineering can enhance software usefulness and usability. We describe a multi-method approach to improve clinical decision support (CDS) for antibiotic stewardship. We employed a heuristic review to generate recommendations to improve the usability of a prototype CDS to support empiric antibiotic prescribing in the hospital setting. We then engaged in a design improvement cycle in collaboration with software programmers, which resulted in additional enhancements to our prototype. Finally, we used the revised prototype during three walkthrough demonstration interviews with physician and pharmacist subject matter experts. These walkthrough interviews generated recommendations to improve the interface, functionality, and tailoring for groups of users. We discuss common elements of the recommendations for models for using clinical decision support in general.
