Methods for studying medication safety following electronic health record implementation in acute care: a scoping review.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThe objective of this scoping review is to map methods used to study medication safety following electronic health record (EHR) implementation. Patterns and methodological gaps can provide insight for future research design. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology and a custom data extraction table to summarize the following data: (1) study demographics (year, country, setting); (2) study design, study period, data sources, and measures; (3) analysis strategy; (4) identified limitations or recommendations; (5) quality appraisal; and (6) if a Safety-I or Safety-II perspective was employed.
resultsWe screened 5879 articles. One hundred and fifteen articles met our inclusion criteria and were assessed for eligibility by full-text review. Twenty-seven articles were eligible for extraction. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionWe found little consistency in how medication safety following EHR implementation was studied. Three study designs, 7 study settings, and 10 data sources were used across 27 articles. None of the articles shared the same combination of design, data sources, study periods, and research settings. Outcome measures were neither defined nor measured consistently. It may be difficult for researchers to aggregate and synthesize medication safety findings following EHR implementation research. All studies but one used a Safety-I perspective to study medication safety. We offer a conceptual model to support a more consistent approach to studying medication safety following EHR implementation.
