Electronic consultation to improve care outcomes in patients with suspected and confirmed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

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: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a complication of heparin exposure associated with high risk for morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and management are complex due to limitations of laboratory testing and the need for nonheparin anticoagulation. Objectives: To increase the delivery of evidence-based care of patients with suspected and confirmed HIT via electronic consultation (e-consult). Methods: We describe the creation and implementation of an e-consult service for patients with concern for HIT at a large academic medical center. Hematology physicians with HIT expertise performed real-time chart review of all patients with a positive screening immunoassay result and provided written recommendations in their electronic health record. Results: Comparison of outcomes for 1 year before and the year after the e-consult service implementation identified improvements in direct thrombin inhibitor stewardship, increased diagnostic accuracy, and decreased length of stay of patients with confirmed HIT. Conclusion: The e-consult platform is a novel method for rapid, targeted consultative guidance, and this single-institution pilot demonstrates its feasibility and effectiveness to improve the care of patients with suspected and confirmed HIT.
