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

As part of a randomized controlled trial on the use of pictographs (images used in lieu of a patient photo) embedded in the electronic health record to reduce wrong-patient errors in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we conducted a series of surveys of parents, providers and nurses in the NICU. Data from survey responses were thematically analyzed and categorized. We found that in all groups, there was very high awareness of the intended purpose of the pictographs; however, the perception of providers and nurses about the effectiveness of pictographs was not as strong. While several providers and nurses acknowledged that pictographs can or have helped them avoid wrong-patient errors when caring for multiple birth infants (such as twins), many nurses believed that their current practice of the use of two patient identifiers was sufficient, and pictographs were not useful. Parents reported that pictographs improved their experience of care.
