Doctors Perceptions Regarding Electronic Systems at Primary Healthcare Centers in Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundClose to three-fourths of the population's health problems can be managed by way of providing care and prevention strategies at the primary healthcare center (PHCC) level. Periodical collections of physicians' perceptions about electronic systems at primary healthcare centers are required for quality improvement and also for the benefit of community practice. The objectives of the study are to find the physicians' perceptions, performance, and communication status with electronic systems. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the PHCC physicians during the period from September 2022 to October 2023. Data was collected through semi-structured, self-administered electronic forms distributed to physicians based on the criteria. Data was entered, cleaned, and analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York). Necessary statistical tests like proportions and chi-square tests were applied.
resultsIn the present study, 135 primary healthcare physicians participated. The response rate in the study population was 95%, and the mean age and the standard deviation in the study population were 32.99 ± 8.05. Approximately 91.1% of the physicians expressed that systems are essential in their daily work. Also, a similar percentage (90%) was observed about improving the quality of care. In contrast to this result, 60.8% of the physicians mentioned increased productivity, and decision-making was about 61.5%.
conclusionsBased on the study findings, physicians gave good perceptions about electronic systems working at PHCC. However, certain domains need to be improved in regard to decision-making and increasing productivity.
