From Design to Accountable Impact for Data Dashboards in Health Care.
Article in Journal of medical Internet research, 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
Unlabelled: Vornhagen and colleagues synthesize design practices for the development of health care dashboards and provide a timely reference for a rapidly expanding class of tools that increasingly mediate clinical decisions and quality improvement. The authors have defined 4 pillars of design with associated practices, establishing a practical approach to the thoughtful development of useful dashboards. Building on these pillars, this commentary proposes accountable dashboarding, defined as making explicit the causal chain linking data sources and governance to visualization, interpretation, action, and measurable outcomes. Dashboards could be treated as sociotechnical interventions in which upstream choices are inseparable from the user interface and downstream decision-making. Evaluation should extend beyond usability and satisfaction to include decision quality and behavioral proxies, unintended consequences, and patient-centered outcomes of dashboard-informed interventions.
