Health information management professionals' investigator involvement in research: barriers and facilitators.
Article in Health information management : journal of the Health Information Management Association of Australia, 2026. 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
backgroundResearch underpins and informs a profession's growth. Research and practice have a fundamental relationship involving knowledge production and its applications to a profession's work.
objectivesTo investigate health information management professionals': interest in investigator involvement in research; exposure to, or opportunity for, research investigator involvement; areas of research interest; barriers to research investigator involvement.
methodA cross-sectional study design was utilised. An online survey elicited data on respondents': demographics, employment, roles; access to research information; interest and experience in research engagement; experience of barriers to research investigator involvement.
resultsOf 112 respondents: 64.3% reported no research involvement; 35.7% had research team experience; 83.9% retrieved research information from the web; 73.9% had no role-based research component; 51.3% had been approached by other (workplace-based) researchers to access and analyse data. Barriers to investigator involvement were personal, organisational and logistical, with lack of time the greatest impediment (62.5%) followed by cost (33.9%), lack of confidence (33%) and not knowing who to approach, or how (31.3%). Research skill development was important for 14.1%. Clinical Coding and Classification Systems (13.3%) and eHealth (12.6%) were considered likely to benefit most from health information management-related research.
conclusionHealth information management practitioners generally have interest in research engagement; barriers include time, money and confidence. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Provision of research skills and the anomaly of requests for facilitation of data access and analyses alongside absence of a research component in their formal roles require attention. The professional association should actively encourage collaborative academic-practitioner research and showcase new evidence for practice.
