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
Background: The Hospital Information System (HIS) is a vital tool for enhancing operational efficiency and informed decision-making in hospitals. A systematic evaluation of the HIS helps identify its strengths and weaknesses, supports continuous improvement based on user needs, and ultimately enhances hospital performance. Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of HIS on staff performance in teaching hospitals affiliated with Kerman University of Medical Sciences, focusing on users' perceptions of system usefulness, ease of use, and its effect on daily work efficiency. Methods: A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2023 and January 2024 in four teaching hospitals (Shafa, Afzalipour, Bahonar, and Beheshti). A total of 189 of 193 HIS users-including managers, permanent, contractual, and temporary staff-were recruited through census sampling. Data were collected using a validated researcher-developed questionnaire containing 33 items across three domains: staff performance, service delivery, and hospital revenue/cost management. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .78. Data analysis was performed using the R software, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: Female participants reported significantly more positive perceptions of HIS in the domains of service delivery ( Conclusion: HIS positive influence on staff performance and service delivery in hospital environments. To maximize its benefits, targeted user training and ongoing system evaluation are recommended. Although the findings are specific to four hospitals in Kerman, users' perceptions provide valuable insights for optimizing the implementation of HIS in similar healthcare settings.
