A clinical decision support tool for improving venous thromboembolism risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis prescribing compliance within an electronic medication management system: a retrospective observational study.
Observational study in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDespite various interventions to improve best-practice venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention measures within hospitals, compliance remains poor. For health services utilising electronic medication management systems (eMMS), implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tools could address this gap.
aimTo evaluate whether local implementation of an integrated electronic alert system linked with a computerised physician order entry (CPOE)-based order set for VTE risk assessment within an eMMS improves the rates of timely VTE risk assessment and guideline-compliant VTE prophylaxis prescribing among hospitalised patients.
methodA retrospective observational study conducted among hospitalised patients pre- and post-implementation of an electronic alert system combined with a CPOE-based order set to prompt VTE risk assessment documentation and VTE prophylaxis prescribing within a single tertiary hospital. Admissions were consecutively screened over 7-day periods before and after implementation for inclusion and assessed for compliance with a local VTE prevention protocol.
resultsEight hundred and fifty patients (458 pre-intervention, 392 post-intervention) were included for evaluation. Rates of VTE risk assessment documentation within 24 h of admission increased by 29.9% (p < 0.001). Guideline-compliant VTE prophylaxis improved by 10.4% (p < 0.001). Patients with completed VTE risk assessments were significantly more likely to receive guideline-compliant VTE prophylaxis, compared to patients without documented VTE risk assessments (19.3% difference, p < 0.001). After adjusting for demographic differences, the odds of achieving positive outcomes significantly increased across all measures, with adjusted odds ratios ranging from 1.95 to 4.89 (p < 0.001).
conclusionLocal implementation of CDS featuring CPOE within the eMMS improved rates of VTE risk assessment documentation and guideline-compliant VTE prophylaxis prescribing.
