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: Single sign-on and access management (SSO/AM) can improve clinician user efficiency and satisfaction by expediting login. The impact of SSO/AM has been quantified in the US and other valuable operational, clinical, and epidemiological utilities of SSO/AM have been described. The authors conducted the first non-US and largest analysis to evaluate the clinical workflow impact and financial value of SSO/AM implementation in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland through direct sampling and quantification of actual clinician login times pre- and post-implementation in eight health systems and 55 hospitals across four nations. Methods: Login time duration before and after SSO/AM implementation was directly measured to determine and compare login durations. Financial value of clinician time freed from keyboard to care for patients was calculated using conservative national estimates of clinician hourly wages. Results: SSO/AM impact and the financial value of clinician time freed from login across 55 participating hospitals was 54.1 million GBP (USD Conclusions: SSO/AM has been deployed successfully to accelerate and ease identity authentication and access to the EHR, clinical applications, and patient data in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where it supplants clinician manual keyboard login. Clinicians in the UK and Ireland benefit from increased time to provide patient care delivered by SSO/AM, and secure EHR/clinical application login workflows have been simplified and expedited.
