Best Practices for the Design of COVID-19 Dashboards.
Article in Perspectives in health information managemen, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Since 2020, health informaticians have developed and enhanced public-facing COVID-19 dashboards worldwide. The improvement of dashboards implemented by health informaticians will ultimately benefit the public in making better healthcare decisions and improve population-level healthcare outcomes. The authors evaluated 100 US city, county, and state government COVID-19 health dashboards and identified the top 10 best practices to be considered when creating a public health dashboard. These features include 1) easy navigation, 2) high usability, 3) use of adjustable thresholds, 4) use of diverse chart selection, 5) compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, 6) use of charts with tabulated data, 7) incorporated user feedback, 8) simplicity of design, 9) adding clear descriptions for charts, and 10) comparison data with other entities. To support their findings, the authors also conducted a survey of 118 randomly selected individuals in six states and the District of Columbia that supports these top 10 best practices for the design of health dashboards.
