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
Background The Tele Primary Care Oral Health Clinical Information System (TPC-OHCIS) was implemented in Malaysia to digitalize health care and reduce numerous ground-level manual tasks. This study measures the psychometric properties of the TPC-OHCIS questionnaire among healthcare workers (HCWs) at primary healthcare clinics (PHC). Method A pilot study was conducted at PHC, which implemented the TPC-OHCIS application for service delivery. The questionnaire contained 65 items with four response categories, grouped into four scales: technology, organization, external support, and human resource. The questionnaire items were analyzed using the Rasch model in Winsteps 3.72.3. Results There were 319 respondents who participated (98.8%). The Cronbach alpha was 0.93. The construct validity was determined by a positive point measure correlation (PMC) value, with an infit and outfit mean square (MNSQ) range of 0.4-1.5 and a Z-standardized (ZSTD) range of -2.0 to 2.0. The person and item reliability were 0.93 and 0.97, respectively, indicating excellent reliability. The questionnaire was unidimensional, where the raw variance explained by measures was >40%. Conclusion The questionnaire was deemed fit for an actual survey after 18 items had been deleted. It has good psychometric properties and is practically applicable for evaluating HCWs on the TPC-OHCIS application implementation process monitoring using the local Malay language. High reliability and unidimensionality were achieved, supporting its use in digital healthcare. With this validated questionnaire, it will enhance digital healthcare implementation and streamline manual tasks.
