[Digitalization of healthcare and its effects on quality of care].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Ensuring the quality of healthcare services is a core concern of the statutory health insurance system. It is therefore not surprising that recent initiatives to (further) digitalize the healthcare system, specifically to introduce the electronic patient record and other applications in the telematics infrastructure, with the Patient Data Protection Act ("Patientendaten-Schutz-Gesetz", PDSG) of digital health applications with the Digital Care Act ("Digitale-Versorgung-Gesetz", DVG), or to strengthen hospital IT with the Hospital Future Act ("Krankenhauszukunftsgesetz", KHZG), are justified by ensuring or even increasing the quality-of-service provision.This article sheds light on the question of how the use of various digital solutions relates to the classic goals of quality assurance in healthcare, in particular, whether digital solutions are suitable for promoting quality assurance.It is shown that digital solutions are fundamentally suitable for ensuring quality. This is due to two characteristics of digital solutions: the possibility of comprehensive data collection and the possibility of making data available independent of time and place. However, it is also apparent that the benefits associated with digital solutions are highly dependent on the specific use cases.
