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 study: Electronic medical record (EMR) systems in healthcare delivery have the potential to transform healthcare in terms of saving costs, reducing medical errors, and improving data quality. This study aimed to assess the Attitudes toward implementing electronic medical records and associated factors among health professional workers in selected public hospitals in Addis Ababa Method: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 422 health professionals in selected hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 2023. The study participants were selected using a simple random sampling technique. A binary and multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify associated factors for electronic medical record implementation. A Result: The overall electronic medical record implementation perceived as useful by health workers is 298 (73.6%), with an allocation of enough budget [AOR = 3.196 (1.49-6.735)] has no networking or problem with internet access [AOR = 1.794(1.089-2.954)]. Electronic medical record increases workload [AOR = 2.350 (1.302-4.243)], which was significantly associated with electronic medical record implementation. Conclusion and Recommendation: According to this study, the overall perception of health professionals toward electronic medical record implementation was high. However, it would be better to build and establish strong internet connectivity and stable power supply or internet access without networking problems, allocate enough budget, and work in collaboration with hospitals and health bureaus to strengthen and support the electronic medical record in their facilities.
