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

Background: Emergency room (ER) visits in the United States have increased by 15% over the last decade, prompting hospitals to implement fast-track systems to mitigate overcrowding and expedite patient registration. Information is limited regarding the creation of duplicate record data entry errors in a fast-track ER environment and the impact of organizational factors such as work shift and the number of daily admissions. Methods: This correlational, quantitative study analyzed 19 months of admission data from a healthcare system in Alabama to examine associations between organizational factors-such as work shift and ER admission volume-and the incidence of duplicate record data entry errors. Results: Results from the data analyses showed statistically significant associations between organizational factors and the number of duplicate record data entry errors. Conclusions: Health information management (HIM) professionals and ER leaders can benefit from knowledge about the impact of organizational factors on duplicate record data entry errors in the fast-track ER environment, so they can modify policies and procedures to improve data quality and patient safety.
