Narrative Review of Electronic Health Record Systems in Anesthesia: Benefits, Risks, and Medico-Legal Considerations in the United States of America.
Review in Journal of medical systems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 records (EHRs) have transformed healthcare delivery and documentation by accurately capturing routine care and critical events through automated data recording. EHRs also enable clinical decision support, quality improvement initiatives, and large-scale research. A narrative review has been constructed using relevant research regarding medicolegal liability associated with EHRs, related to anesthesia care. EHRs have created new liability exposures through alert fatigue, system errors, and inappropriate use of functions such as copy-and-paste. Ethical issues and concerns with EHRs include privacy, informed consent, and secondary data uses. Metadata, "data about the data", provides insight into record authenticity, clinician involvement in care, and communication between providers. However, EHR metadata is legally discoverable, and courts have compelled its release to plaintiffs despite hospital objections. This narrative review covers the benefits of EHRs in anesthesiology practice, discusses medicolegal liability and ethical concerns, and highlights a method for assessing medicolegal risks using the EHR.
