Completeness of Data on Race and Ethnicity and Timeliness of Electronic Case Reports for COVID-19 at 4 Health Care Organizations in Florida, December 2020.

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
objectivesElectronic case reporting (eCR), a cornerstone of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Data Modernization Initiative, automates bidirectional information sharing between electronic health records and public health agencies for reportable conditions. eCR grew rapidly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CDC and the Florida Department of Health (FDOH) collaborated to compare the completeness and timeliness of eCR with that of traditional reporting methods for COVID-19-related patient encounters at 4 health care organizations in Florida in December 2020.
methodsElectronic initial case reports (eICRs) were matched to corresponding (ie, for same patient encounter) electronic laboratory reports (ELRs) or manually transmitted documents. We extracted and compared selected data from each report type across matched reports for completeness and timeliness.
resultsMost (>98%) eICRs provided earlier notification of COVID-19 to the local public health department than corresponding ELRs or manually transmitted documents. Additionally, eICRs provided more data on race and ethnicity (>90%) than ELRs (71%) or manually transmitted documents (<5%).
conclusionsAdvancing implementation of eCR nationwide may provide more complete and timely case data than ELR or manually transmitted documents to guide public health action.
