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

backgroundPersonal Health Records (PHRs) are designed to fulfill the goals of electronic health (eHealth) and empower the individual in the process of self-care. Integrated PHR can improve the quality of care, strengthen the patient-healthcare provider relationship, and reduce healthcare costs. Still, the process of PHR acceptance and use has been slow and mainly hindered by people's concerns about the security of their personal health information. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the Integrated PHR security requirements and mechanisms.

methodsIn this applied study, PHR security requirements were identified with a literature review of (library sources, research articles, scientific documents, and reliable websites). The identified requirements were classified, and a questionnaire was developed accordingly. Thirty experts completed the questionnaire in a two-round Delphi technique, and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics.

resultsThe PHR security requirements were identified and classified into seven dimensions confidentiality, availability, integrity, authentication, authorization, non-repudiation, and right of access, each dimension having certain mechanisms. On average, the experts reached an agreement about the mechanisms of confidentiality (94.67%), availability (96.67%), integrity (93.33%), authentication (100%), authorization (97.78%), non-repudiation (100%), and right of access (90%).

conclusionIntegrated PHR security is a requirement for its acceptance and use. To design a useful and reliable integrated PHR, system designers, health policymakers, and healthcare organizations must identify and apply security requirements to guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of data.
