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

Introduction: Gaps in the health system make it difficult for older adults to have their communication needs and wants heard for that necessary communication to happen. In this study, we investigate attitudes of community-based healthcare professionals (HCPs) regarding the potential utility of a digital technology platform. This platform was designed to enable older adults receiving HCP services in a community setting to provide qualitative narrative impressions and evaluations of their needs and how these needs were addressed by the services. MyHealthMyRecord (MHMR) technology is being designed to provide a digital video-scrapbook for recording and sharing healthcare-related information, observation, and qualitative narratives. Methods: HCPs were recruited in collaboration with SE Health, a large community-care provider based in Toronto, Canada. Using a user-centered and inclusive design approach, HCPs in community care were asked to comment on the use of the MHMR platform by their patients and to examine a platform prototype. Each session, which lasted approximately 60 min, involved a 40-min semistructured face-to-face interview, followed by a demonstration of the system. Data were analyzed using the Consensual Qualitative Research analysis. Results: A convenience sample of 7 HCPs, all comfortable with digital technology, participated in the study. The analysis identified 11 themes, with all participants recognizing the value of the MHMR platform in enhancing their capacity to provide services, particularly in tracking to relevant events between patients' visits. Conclusions: The HCPs appreciated how the MHMR platform could be used to enhance community health service delivery through valid, reliable, and responsive Person/Patient-Reported Outcomes. It was appreciated that such data could be useful in improving community care experiences while also being useful at a system-wide learning level.
