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

Introduction: Learning health systems leverage clinical data and knowledge to advance healthcare quality. Effective training in informatics concepts and tools is essential for medical trainees to become health system experts and contributors to positive organizational change. The objective of this study is to summarize characteristics of existing clinical informatics training programs and map these to recommended Learning Health System informatics competencies. We aim to answer the following research questions: (1) How are academic medical institutions implementing informatics education initiatives for medical trainees? (2) Are these initiatives implementing recommended informatics competencies? and (3) How effective are these initiatives according to established health professions education evaluation frameworks? Methods: We searched for literature in the databases Embase, Ovid Medline, and Web of Science. Three researchers independently screened study titles and abstracts. Inclusion criteria were (a) studies with medical students and/or postgraduate medical professionals in the study sample, (b) in an academic medical setting, and (c) describing a clinical informatics curriculum initiative. Results: We included a total of 27 studies for analysis. Most curricula ( Conclusion: Gaps remain in the context of leveraging education to pursue Learning Health System endeavors of clinical research, quality improvement, and achieving organizational-level results. Further research on recent education initiatives targeting undergraduate and graduate medical trainees is needed to elevate the rate of clinical informatics education implementation, while simultaneously advocating for standardization in the design and evaluation of these initiatives.
