The Feasibility of Using Best Practice Alerts in Pediatric Primary Care for Obesity Research.
Article in Academic pediatrics. 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
objectiveRecruiting participants in pediatric obesity research is challenging due to logistical and systemic barriers. This study evaluated the use of a best practice alert (BPA) within the electronic health record (EHR) to aid in recruitment for a randomized controlled trial testing a pediatric obesity treatment intervention.
methodsThe BPA was designed to identify eligible patients aged 5 to 17 years with a body mass index ≥95th percentile during their annual well-child visits. Between January 2018 and March 2020, the BPA was utilized in 4 primary care clinics. Patients were identified in the EHR and pre-screened by the study team.
resultsThe BPA was deployed to 2121 individual patients, and providers responded to 85% of alerts. Over half (52%) of patients indicated interest in further contact by the study team. The BPA facilitated recruitment 68% (177/261) of participants or 16% of those who agreed to be contacted.
conclusionsOverall, the BPA was responsible for the majority of total enrollment in the trial. This study demonstrates the potential of BPAs to facilitate recruitment into pediatric obesity treatment studies.
