Article in Cureus, 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
Electronic health record (EHR) generates a large amount of data filled with opportunities to enhance documentation compliance, quality improvement, and other metrics. Various software tools exist, but many clinicians are unaware of them. Our institution switched from a hybrid of paper and multiple small EHRs to one all-inclusive EHR system. We faced significant challenges beyond the typical new software deployment phase that affected our departmental regulatory compliance, quality measures, and research initiatives. We aimed to navigate these issues through the use of medical informatics. We used a multidimensional database software analysis tool called SAP BusinessObjects® (SAP SE. Released 2020. SAP BusinessObjects, Version 14.2.8.3671. Waldorf, Germany) to design automated queries for the patient database to generate various reports for our department. As a result, We improved our anesthesia documentation non-compliance from 13-17% of all cases to 4% within months. We have also used this tool to automatically generate various reports such as preoperative beta-blocker administrations, caseloads, case complications, procedure logs, and medication records. Even today many departments rely on manual checks for even the most basic documentation and quality metric compliance, which can be time consuming and costly. Using medical informatics tools is a highly efficient alternative. Fortunately, many software tools exist within most modern EHR packages, and most people can learn to use these tools productively.
