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

backgroundBarcode information management systems (BIMS) have been implemented in operating rooms to improve the quality of medical care and administrative efficiency. Previous research has demonstrated that the Agile development model is extensively used in the development and management of information systems. However, the effect of information systems on staff acceptance has not been examined within the context of clinical medical information management systems.

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the effects and acceptance of implementing a BIMS in comparison to the original information system (OIS) among operating and supply room staff.

methodsThis study was a comparative cohort design. A total of 80 staff members from the operating and supply rooms of a Northern Taiwan medical center were recruited. Data collection, conducted from January 2020 to August 2020 using a mobile-based structured questionnaire, included participant characteristics and the Information Management System Scale. SPSS (version 20.0, IBM Corp) for Windows (Microsoft Corporation) was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics included mean, SD, frequency, and percentage. Differences between groups were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test, with a P value <.05 considered statistically significant.

resultsThe results indicated that the BIMS generally achieved higher scores in key elements of system success, system quality, information quality, perceived system use, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and overall quality score; none of these differences were statistically significant (P>.05), with the system quality subscale being closest to significance (P=.06). Nurses showed significantly better perceived system use than technicians (1.58, SD 4.78 vs -1.19, SD 6.24; P=.02). Significant differences in perceived usefulness were found based on educational level (P=.04) and experience with OIS (P=.03), with junior college-educated nurses and those with over 6 years of OIS experience reporting the highest perceived usefulness.

conclusionsThe study demonstrates that using the Agile development model for BIMS is advantageous for clinical environments. The high acceptance among operating room staff underscores its practicality and broader adoption potential. It advocates for continued exploration of technology-driven solutions to enhance health care delivery and optimize clinical workflows.
