Evaluation of accessibility of open-source EHRs for visually impaired users.

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
This study investigates the accessibility of open-source electronic health record (EHR) systems for individuals who are visually impaired or blind. Ensuring the accessibility of EHRs to visually impaired users is critical for the diversity, equity, and inclusion of all users. The study used a combination of automated and manual accessibility testing with screen readers to evaluate the accessibility of three widely used open-source EHR systems. We used three popular screen readers - JAWS (Windows), NVDA (Windows), and Apple VoiceOver (OSX) to evaluate accessibility. The evaluation revealed that although each of the three EHR systems was partially accessible, there is room for improvement, particularly regarding keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility. The study concludes with recommendations for making EHR systems more inclusive for all users and more accessible.
