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

objectivesMigrating legacy on-premise electronic health record (EHR) systems in tertiary hospitals to modern cloud-native platforms presents technical and strategic challenges. We aimed to establish an optimized roadmap for transitioning legacy monolithic systems to a microservice architecture-based cloud-native EHR (MCEHR).

methodsWe conducted a 3-month strategic assessment and case study based on the modernization requirements of a global healthcare provider. The methodology incorporated semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including clinical informatics officers and system architects, to identify critical pain points such as .NET 4.0 end-of-support risks and performance bottlenecks during peak clinical hours. Phased hybrid migration was adopted, analyzing over 20 TB of Oracle-based legacy data and evaluating the technical feasibility of transitioning to .NET 9 and RESTful APIs. To ensure clinical safety, a proof-of-concept (PoC) environment was developed to simulate high-concurrency clinical workloads, emphasizing system resilience and transaction integrity during intensive order-entry periods.

resultsThe transition to .NET 9 and MCEHR demonstrated 100% transaction integrity across 1,012 complex clinical test cases. Frontend and backend modernization showed high feasibility; however, migration of business logic embedded within legacy Oracle views represented a primary technical bottleneck, necessitating targeted decoupling. The PoC confirmed that RESTful API-based services maintained stable throughput under heavy concurrent loads, significantly reducing the risk of system-induced delays in clinical workflows.

conclusionsTransitioning to an MCEHR architecture is complex but strategically essential. The proposed task force team roadmap outlines staged upgrades incorporating core technology modernization (.NET 9 and RESTful APIs), selective business component migration, and parallel DevOps adoption.
