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

backgroundThe primary requirement for a capable patient health record (PHR) that can interact appropriately with the family medicine system and collect and share qualified data is a minimum data set (MDS) aligned with family medicine's functions and goals. The aim of this research was to determine the MDS for a blockchain-based PHR system that can effectively interact with family medicine providers and collect and share qualified data. This MDS is intended to be applicable to all members of the community covered by family medicine. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis applied study was conducted in 2022 in a cross-sectional and descriptive approach in three phases. In the first phase, a content analysis related to the research objectives was conducted in scientific databases, search engines, and websites of the centers and scientific research organizations with publications and policy-making in this field. Consequently, 11 studies were selected for use in the second and third phases. In the second phase, to determine information needs, a researcher-developed questionnaire including 17 classes was given to 50 people under the cover of the family medicine plan in Shiraz city. By choosing one of the two options "Yes" or "No" by them, the necessary data classes were determined. In the third phase, the second researcher-developed questionnaire was designed and administered to 100 family physicians in Shiraz city. This questionnaire included the data elements corresponding to the data classes approved in the previous phase. The family physicians were asked to rate the importance of each data element using a Likert scale with five options, ranging from "very unimportant" to "very important." The necessary data elements were determined based on these scores.

resultsIn the first questionnaire, 16 of the 17 data classes received approval from individuals covered by the family medicine plan. Consequently, a questionnaire comprising 16 classes and 105 data elements was administered to the family physicians. Ultimately, the MDS was determined to include 16 classes and 72 data elements.

conclusionsDetermining essential data elements, especially for patient/physician interaction in family medicine, should be such that they can be managed by the person while being comprehensive and providing sufficient help to the physician during the treatment process. This MDS can be used to interact with and refer PHRs to other physicians and specialists, as well as help interoperability between the PHR and other health systems, such as hospital information systems (HIS) and electronic health records (EHRs).
