Clinical and economic impact of digital dashboards on hospital inpatient care: a systematic review.
Review in JAMIA open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: Digital dashboards are used to monitor patients and improve inpatient outcomes in hospital settings. A systematic review assessed the impact of dashboards across five outcomes of hospital mortality, hospital length of stay (LOS), economic impacts, harms, and patient and carer satisfaction. Materials and Methods: Nine databases were searched from inception to May 2024. Studies were included if they reported primary quantitative research on dashboard interventions in hospital settings, were in English, and measured effectiveness for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals or services. Data synthesis was performed via narrative review. Risk of bias was measured using Cochrane ROBINS-I and RoB 2. Results: We identified 5755 articles, and 70 met inclusion criteria. Of 20 findings reporting mortality (16 studies), five reported a decrease, whilst the majority ( Discussion: Hospital dashboards do appear associated with either no change or a reduction in mortality, reduced costs, reduced LOS, and improved patient and caregiver satisfaction with care. Association with harms was equivocal. Conclusion: While there is evidence of potential benefits, actual impacts of hospital digital dashboard will likely be dependent on multiple local factors such as workflow integration.
