Improving Nurse Documentation Time via an Electronic Health Record Documentation Efficiency Tool.
Article in Applied clinical informatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nursing documentation burden is a growing point of concern in the United States health care system. Documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) is a contributor to perceptions of burden. Efficiency tools like flowsheet macros are one development intended to ease the burden of documentation.This study aimed to evaluate whether flowsheet macros, a documentation efficiency tool in the EHR that consolidates documentation into a single click, reduces the time spent on documentation activities and the EHR overall.Nurses in the health system were encouraged to create and utilize flowsheet macros for their documentation. Flowsheet documentation and time in system data for nurses' first and last shifts in the evaluation period were extracted from the EHR. Linear regression with control variables was utilized to understand if the utilization of flowsheet macros for documentation reduced the time spent in flowsheets or the EHR.The results of linear regression showed a significant, negative relationship between flowsheet macros use and time in flowsheets (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = -0.291, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.342 to -0.240,
