Guideline concordance of electronic health record order sets for hospital-based treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
Article in Journal of hospital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundTreatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) in hospitals is inconsistent. Electronic health record (EHR) order sets protocolize care.
objectiveWe examined variation in AWS order sets across hospital organizations and their concordance with AWS guidelines.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of hospital organization user-created EHR order sets for AWS extracted from the December 2021 Epic® userweb community library. Hospital organizations with an acute care hospital and
resultsNinety-five organizations with 289 order sets were included. The proportion of organizations with guideline-concordant laboratory assessments included testing of electrolytes (83%), hepatic function (75%), substance use (83%), and screening for infections (33%). Guidance for assessing risk of severe AWS (34%) and indications for care escalation (63%) used inconsistent definitions. Use of guideline-concordant medications for AWS (99%) and AWS symptom scores (91%) were nearly universal. MAUD was included by two organizations (2%). A common templated order set was used by 26% of organizations in EHR order sets.
conclusionsWe observed frequent organizational inclusion of guideline-concordant medications and symptom scores but rare and/or poorly defined guidance for evaluating risk of severe AWS, escalation of care, and MAUD.
