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

objectiveTo measure nurse home visiting teams' access to electronic health records (EHR) and determine if access to EHR is associated with increased nurse home visitor collaboration with primary care providers in the United States. STUDY SETTING AND

designNurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is an evidence-based home visiting program for first-time parents experiencing adversities. We conducted an observational study using data from 265 local NFP agencies in the United States. We used multivariate regression models to estimate the association between home visitors' EHR access and relational coordination with primary care providers. DATA SOURCES AND ANALYTIC SAMPLE: We linked data from the 2021 NFP Collaboration with Community Providers Survey to 2021 NFP program implementation data and 2010 Rural-Urban Commuting Area Codes. We matched 265 survey respondents to their NFP teams' implementation data, including those with client visits between September 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. PRINCIPAL

findingsThirty-four percent of NFP teams (91/265) had access to their patients' EHR, with variation by agency type, where more NFP programs implemented by healthcare systems had EHR access (56%) compared to other agency types (X

conclusionsAccess to EHRs varies by NFP team and agency type and is associated with greater relational coordination with primary care providers. Increasing home visitors' access to EHRs may help to facilitate collaboration with primary care providers.
