The Impact of Documentation Workflow on the Accuracy of the Coded Diagnoses in the Electronic Health Record.
Article in Ophthalmology science. 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
Objective: To determine the impact of documentation workflow on the accuracy of coded diagnoses in electronic health records (EHRs). Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants: All patients who completed visits at the Casey Eye Institute Retina Division faculty clinic between April 7, 2022 and April 13, 2022. Main Outcome Measures: Agreement between coded diagnoses and clinical notes. Methods: We assessed the rate of agreement between the diagnoses in the clinical notes and the coded diagnosis in the EHR using manual review and examined the impact of the documentation workflow on the rate of agreement in an academic retina practice. Results: In 202 visits by 8 physicians, 78% (range, 22%-100%) had an agreement between the coded diagnoses and the clinical notes. When physicians integrated the diagnosis code entry and note composition, the rate of agreement was 87.9% (range, 62%-100%). For those who entered the diagnosis codes separately from writing notes, the agreement was 44.4% (22%-50%, Conclusion: The visit-specific agreement between the coded diagnosis and the progress note can vary widely by workflow. The workflow and EHR design may be an important part of understanding and improving the quality of EHR data.
