Ethics Consultation Requests After Implementation of an Electronic Health Record Order.
Article in JCO oncology practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeAs the role of clinical ethics consultation in health care advances, there are calls to standardize the process of consultation. The Ethics Committee at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) hypothesized that the process of requesting an ethics consultation could be improved by instituting an electronic health record (EHR) order for consultation requests. This report summarizes the impact of adopting an EHR order for ethics consultation requests at MSK.
methodsThis retrospective review of all clinical ethics consultations requested at a tertiary cancer center from May 2017 to February 2020 spans 17 months before and after implementation of an electronic order for consultation requests. Summary statistics are presented using Pearson chi-square analyses with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThere was a significant increase in the total number of consultation requests placed after implementation of the EHR order (n = 165, 0.08% of total patients) compared with before (n = 108, 0.05% of total patients;
conclusionIn this large single-institution retrospective study, implementation of an EHR order for ethics consultation requests was associated with a significant increase in the number of consultation requests. Implementation of an electronic order may decrease barriers to ethics consultation in diverse practice settings. Further longitudinal, multicenter studies are needed to assess strategies to improve access to clinical ethics consultation for oncology patients.
