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

Introduction: There has been much discourse about the features and impact of clinical decision support. However, until recently, there has been less evidence on Methods: Frontline resident doctors were invited to complete an online semistructured questionnaire on if, and how, they used a clinical decision support resource to obtain and apply information to provide evidence-based care and/or to save costs. Results: Among the respondents, 93% agreed or strongly agreed that the clinical decision support helped them obtain information to provide evidence-based care, and 93% agreed or strongly agreed that they could apply the information obtained from the resource to provide evidence-based care. Half of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that using the resource helped them save healthcare costs. Discussion: The results strongly support the idea that the doctors used the resource to provide evidence-based care; the results related to cost savings were not as strong.
