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

Objectives: Electronic health record (EHR) work may differently affect women and men physicians. Identifying gender discrepancies in EHR work across different specialties may inform strategies to reduce EHR burdens. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated EHR use by ambulatory physicians in 4 specialties (2 procedural [cardiology and gastroenterology] and 2 nonprocedural [internal medicine and rheumatology]) during 1 year at a large academic medical institution. Gender differences in EHR and clinical workload across specialties were evaluated by analysis of variance. Mixed-effects linear regression models analyzed gender differences in EHR workload controlling for specialty. Significant differences were additionally examined by stratifying procedural and nonprocedural specialties. Results: Clinical and EHR workload varied across specialties ( Discussion: Women physicians had greater EHR burdens despite similar scheduled clinical workloads as men. The greater messaging workload predominantly affected women procedural physicians. Conclusion: Gender disparities in EHR burden in ambulatory specialties vary between procedural and nonprocedural fields. Future research is needed to mitigate gender inequity in EHR workloads.
