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

The foundational role of health information exchanges (HIEs) is to facilitate communication between clinical partners in real time. Once this infrastructure for the secure and immediate flow of patient information is built, however, HIEs can benefit community public health and clinical care in myriad other ways that are in line with their mission, goals, patient privacy, and funding structures. We encourage the development of community-integrated HIEs and list specific steps that can be taken toward community integration. We give three examples of those steps in action from a community HIE in El Paso, TX. Each local partnership, in combination with technology innovation, resulted in the development of informatics tools to address community health needs and generated long-term benefits, especially for the most vulnerable patients. Two examples relate to different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic and a third to the Afghan refugee evacuation.
