Integrating a Systematic, Comprehensive E-Cigarette and Vaping Assessment Tool into the Electronic Health Record.
Review in Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine : JABFM, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRecently, the use of electronic cigarettes increased sharply, leading to increased e-cigarette, or Vaping Product Use-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI), and other acute pulmonary conditions. There is an urgent need for clinical information about e-cigarette users to identify factors that contribute to EVALI. We developed an e-cigarette/vaping assessment tool (EVAT) that was integrated into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) of a large state-wide medical system and initiated a system-wide dissemination and education to support its use.
methodsEVAT documented current vaping status, history, and e-cigarette content (nicotine, cannabinoids, and/or flavoring). Educational materials and presentations were developed via a comprehensive literature review. EVAT utilization in the EHR was assessed quarterly. Patients' demographic data and clinical site name were also collected.
resultsThe EVAT was built, validated, and integrated with the EHR in July 2020. Live and virtual seminars were conducted for prescribing providers and clinical staff. Asynchronous training was offered using podcasts, e-mails, and Epic tip sheets. Participants were informed about vaping harm and EVALI and instructed on the use of EVAT. As of December 31, 2022, EVAT was used 988,181 times, with 376,559 unique patients evaluated. Overall, 1,063 hospital units and affiliated ambulatory clinics used EVAT, including 64 Primary Care, 95 Pediatrics, and 874 Specialty sites.
conclusionsEVAT was successfully implemented. Continued outreach efforts are needed to further increase its usage. Education materials should be enhanced to help providers to reach youth and vulnerable populations and connect patients to the tobacco treatment resources.
