The effect of information technology intervention on using appropriate VTE prophylaxis in non-surgical patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Introduction: Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) play an important role in summarizing the best clinical practices, thereby promoting high standards of care in specific medical fields. These systems can serve as tools for gaining knowledge and mediating between clinical guidelines and physicians thereby providing the right information to the right person at the right time. Objective: This review aims to evaluate the effect of CDSSs on adherence to guidelines for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis and VTE events compared to routine care without CDSSs in non-surgical patients. Methods: In order to conduct a systematic literature review, the published studies were identified through screening EMBASE, the international clinical trials registry, OVID, Cochrane database, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus databases, from 1982 to March 2021. The included studies were reviewed by two independent reviewers; the proportion of patients that correctly received VTE prophylaxis has been next extracted for further analysis. Additionally, patients were divided into two groups: CDSS-recommended VTE prophylaxis and routine care without using a CDSS. Results: Twelve articles (three randomized controlled trials, seven prospective cohort trials, and two retrospective cohort trials) were in fine analyzed. The use of CDSSs is found to be associated with a significant increase in the rate of using the appropriate prophylaxis for VTE ( Conclusion: Implementation of CDSSs can help improving the appropriate use of VTE prophylaxis in non-surgical patients. Further, evidence-based and interventional studies on the development of CDSSs can provide more in-depth knowledge on both this tool design and efficiency.
