From Patient to Person: An EHR-Integrated "About Me" Tool Allows Patients to Digitally Share Non-Medical Information.
Article 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
backgroundPatient experience is a key component of care quality, linked to outcomes like safety and medication adherence. In high-acuity inpatient settings with rotating teams, opportunities exist to better integrate patients' identities and values into the hospital experience.
aimTo design, implement, and evaluate an EHR-integrated tool that enables hospitalized patients to share personal, non-medical information to help care teams deliver more personalized care.
settingFourteen adult inpatient units across a large academic medical center (NYU Langone Health, New York, NY).
participantsHospitalized adults and their interprofessional care teams, including physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: About Me is an Epic-integrated digital tool that allows patients or caregivers to share brief, non-clinical details-such as hobbies, values, family, and communication preferences-visible to the entire care team. Patients complete entries via the NYU Langone Health App or with nurse assistance; nurses validate content for appropriateness. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Over a 2-month period, 1001 of 5452 eligible patients (18.4%) submitted entries. Entries were brief but meaningful. Five major themes emerged: hobbies, family, identity, career, and animals. DISCUSSION: Implementation of About Me was feasible and acceptable. Even brief entries offered meaningful context that may strengthen rapport and promote more personalized, compassionate inpatient care.
