Understanding Health Care Administrators' Data and Information Needs for Decision Making during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study at an Academic Health System.
Article in MDM policy & practice. 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
Highlights: The study revealed common health systems or hospital operations data and information used in decision making during the first 6 mo of the COVID-19 pandemic.Participants described commonly used internal data sources, such as resource and financial reports and dashboards, and external data sources, such as federal, state, and local public health data.Participants described challenges including poor timeliness and limited local relevance of external data as well as poor integration of data sources within and across organizational boundaries.Results suggest the need for continued integration and standardization of health data to support health care administrative decision making during pandemics or other emergencies.
