Assessing physicians' experiences with a clinical decision support system in patient blood management programme: a cross-sectional observational study.
Observational study in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundClinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) are increasingly being used to promote the use of evidence-based practices and improve the quality of healthcare. Patient Blood Management (PBM), an evidence-based approach endorsed by the World Health Organization, focuses on optimizing transfusion practices. This study evaluates the usability of a newly designed CDSS and physicians’ compliance with the CDSS to support PBM implementation in Turkiye.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess physicians’ experiences, attitudes, and the impact of CDSS on decision-making processes through a pilot CDSS program using a pop-up window initiated to improve the use of blood components in the Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital.
resultsThe order of the 155 blood and blood components (BBC) via the Hospital Information System was assessed over two weeks, and a total of 155 physicians participated in the survey. Only 30.32% (n = 47) of participants read the pop-up window (PW), while 69.68% (n = 108) closed it without reviewing it. Although all physicians found PW beneficial and informative, most physicians (87%) did not alter their transfusion practices, as they believed BBC requests were made based on their knowledge on appropriate indications. It was observed that traditional face-to-face education increased the participants’ knowledge level and enabled them to read the information presented in PW.
conclusionsAlthough physicians perceived the CDSS as a useful source of current literature information, the CDSS's impact on decision-making behavior was limited, and physicians’ overall compliance remained low (30.3%). Physicians with more than five years of experience had higher reading rates than those with less experience (60.0% vs. 27.1%, p = 0.02). Time constraints and heavy workload were reported as the main reasons limiting system use. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
