1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aims: Collaboration has become a crucial element of effective healthcare delivery in the emergency department (ED). In high-pressure environments, healthcare providers can prioritize patients by consulting with other specialists to gain diverse perspectives and arrive at a shared understanding of the best course of action. It was conducted for the purpose of designing and evaluating the collaborative decision-making application for patient care in the ED. Methods: The present applied research study was conducted between April 1, 2021 and May 31, 2023 at Imam Reza Hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. The study was conducted in three phases: exploration, development, and evaluation, utilizing modern technologies such as Flutter and Node.js to design and program the application. The effectiveness of the system was evaluated using established measures, including the think-aloud protocol, user experience questionnaire, and Likert-scale questionnaires developed by Ghadri et al. Results: The average scale for attractiveness was 2.03, perspicuity was 2.90, efficiency was 2.40, dependability was 1.93, stimulation was 2.48, and novelty was 2.78. Additionally, 71% of physicians gave a very good rating to the accessibility of necessary information at any time, motivation to use the system for accessing information, usefulness of the system compared to the time spent using it throughout the day. Furthermore, 57% of physicians gave a very positive rating to sharing information and knowledge, ease of using the search function and accessing the system, user control and monitoring, free access to the system, and support from colleagues and system users. Conclusion: The study suggests that introducing Information and Communication Technology such as medical apps can improve healthcare delivery by streamlining patient care, promoting effective teamwork, and reducing medical errors and treatment delays.
