The Digital Workload Divide: Investigating Gender Differences in Electronic Health Record Messaging among Primary Care Clinicians.

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
Electronic health record (EHR) patient portal messaging has become an essential tool for patient-clinician communication by improving accessibility to primary care. While messaging is beneficial for patients, it can increase clinicians' workloads. Female clinicians receive a greater number of EHR messaging, resulting in an increased workload.This evaluation explores the factors in clinician gender disparity in EHR messaging burden.The first phase of the evaluation included a retrospective analysis of the messages to 267 primary care clinicians in the University of Vermont Health Network (UVMHN). The second phase analyzed patient demographics and panel complexity. Statistical analysis was performed across all categories of patient care-generated messages to primary care clinicians and subsequently on all messages across the UVMHN.Female clinicians received significantly more patient-initiated medical advice request messages than their male counterparts (68.28 vs. 49.22 messages/month,
