1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: E-aushadhi is a drug supply chain management initiative of the Rajasthan government. This study is conducted to assess this e-health program as evidence is lacking in this context. Methods: A mix-method study was conducted. Primary data were recorded from key stakeholders using qualitative interviews. Secondary data were collected from internet-based searches, reports, documents, and available literature. Findings were contextualized into the Benefit-Evaluation framework using six dimensions. Results: E-aushadhi provides a systematic approach for sourcing, storing, and re-distribution of essential medicine through its three-tier structure. Its user-friendly dashboard entails accurate entries, customizable reports, and easy tracking. It has reduced workload and improved information management with timely drug supply while allowing monitoring with key performance indicators. Conclusions: E-aushadhi has been successful in improving beneficiary access at public health facilities and may act as a backbone architecture for various digital interventions in the National Digital Health Mission that supports the universal health coverage.
