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

Objectives: Determine if an electronic documentation tool can reduce documentation queries for malnutrition without impacting diagnostic coding. Materials and Methods: Malnutrition documentation queries and diagnosis coding proportions were compared between 2 groups of 600 malnourished adults discharged from internal medicine services before and after this electronic malnutrition documentation tool was promoted. Results: Documentation queries for malnutrition were observed in 300 (50%) of the preintervention discharges and 112 (19%) of the postintervention discharges ( Conclusions: We have demonstrated that introducing and promoting this electronic documentation tool can reduce querying for malnutrition while preserving diagnostic coding.
