Chart Completion Time of Attending Physicians While Using Medical Scribes.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Medical scribes have become a widely used strategy to optimize how providers document in the electronic health record. To date, literature regarding the impact of scribes on time to complete documentation is limited. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study of chart completion time among providers using scribes at our organization. A total of 148,410 scribed encounters, across 55 different clinics, were analyzed to determine variations in chart completion time. There was a significant variance in completion time between specialty groups and clinics within each specialty. Additionally, chart completion time was highly variable between providers working in the same clinic. These patterns were observed across all specialties included in our analysis. Our results suggest a higher level of variability with respect to chart completion when utilizing scribes than previously anticipated.
