Analytics to monitor local impact of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act's imaging clinical decision support requirements.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 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
objectiveThis study aimed is to: (1) extend the Integrating the Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) data and application models to include medical imaging appropriate use criteria, enabling it to serve as a platform to monitor local impact of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act's (PAMA) imaging clinical decision support (CDS) requirements, and (2) validate the i2b2 extension using data from the Medicare Imaging Demonstration (MID) CDS implementation. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study provided a reference implementation and assessed its validity and reliability using data from the MID, the federal government's predecessor to PAMA's imaging CDS program. The Star Schema was extended to describe the interactions of imaging ordering providers with the CDS. New ontologies were added to enable mapping medical imaging appropriateness data to i2b2 schema. z-Ratio for testing the significance of the difference between 2 independent proportions was utilized.
resultsThe reference implementation used 26 327 orders for imaging examinations which were persisted to the modified i2b2 schema. As an illustration of the analytical capabilities of the Web Client, we report that 331/1192 or 28.1% of imaging orders were deemed appropriate by the CDS system at the end of the intervention period (September 2013), an increase from 162/1223 or 13.2% for the first month of the baseline period, December 2011 (P = .0212), consistent with previous studies.
conclusionsThe i2b2 platform can be extended to monitor local impact of PAMA's appropriateness of imaging ordering CDS requirements.
