Using electronic health record audit log data for research: insights from early efforts.
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 27 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
Electronic health record audit logs capture a time-sequenced record of clinician activities while using the system. Audit log data therefore facilitate unobtrusive measurement at scale of clinical work activities and workflow as well as derivative, behavioral proxies (eg, teamwork). Given its considerable research potential, studies leveraging these data have burgeoned. As the field has matured, the challenges of using the data to answer significant research questions have come into focus. In this Perspective, we draw on our research experiences and insights from the broader audit log literature to advance audit log research. Specifically, we make 2 complementary recommendations that would facilitate substantial progress toward audit log-based measures that are: (1) transparent and validated, (2) standardized to allow for multisite studies, (3) sensitive to meaningful variability, (4) broader in scope to capture key aspects of clinical work including teamwork and coordination, and (5) linked to patient and clinical outcomes.
