Bridging the Gap: Portal Messages as a Tool to Improve Breast Cancer and Diabetes Screening Rates.
Trial report in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. 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
backgroundHealthcare systems use electronic patient reminders to encourage preventive care receipt. We used an innovative randomized testing approach to identify reminder design elements associated with improved patient responsiveness.
aimImprove patient response to electronic preventive care screening reminders. SETTING AND
participantsOutpatient clinics affiliated with NYU Langone Health (NYULH) and their patients. Included patients were due for retinal, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), or mammography screening. PROGRAM: Iterative EHR reminder redesign using a behaviorally informed framework, testing improvements based on randomized implementation. We randomized patients for each screening type to intervention (redesigned) or control (existing) reminders. Outcomes were scheduling or completion of indicated test. Plan-Do-Study-Act Cycle #1 tested all three redesigned reminders. Cycle #2 tested a personalized reminder versus the redesigned mammography reminder from Cycle #1.
resultsCycle #1: Redesigned mammography reminders showed greater adherence (25/212 [11.8%] vs. 13/212 [6.1%]) compared to controls (p = 0.04). Redesigned retinal and HbA1c reminders showed no difference. Cycle #2: Scheduling adherence for mammography was similar for personalized and non-personalized reminders (p = 0.68).
conclusionIterative, randomized testing of re-designed electronic preventive care reminders was feasible within a large, complex healthcare system and showed the value of brief messages with a scheduling link for mammography.
