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: We analyzed interoperability-related Real World Testing results to identify whether developers are providing meaningful results with the appropriate context to enable stakeholders to understand the Certified Health IT conformance and interoperability when deployed in production environments. Materials and Methods: This qualitative study analyzed components of the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy's transitions of care criterion Real World Testing results of 5 inpatient and 5 ambulatory health IT developers with the largest market share. Results: Developers provided interoperability measures; however, none of the developers' presented results in a meaningful way with the appropriate context to understand product interoperability. Discussion: Our results suggest that developers with ASTP/Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) Certified Health IT modules are not providing interoperability transparency through Real World Testing as required by the ONC Health IT Certification Program and intended by the 21st Century Cures Act. Conclusion: Clearer developer guidance and actual metric requirements on Real World Testing may be required and the authorized certification bodies, who review developer results, may need to more closely inspect reports to look at the quality of reported results.
