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

Abstract:

backgroundNoona is a patient-facing app used by CancerCare Manitoba to connect patients to their electronic health record and communicate with their care team. Since the implementation of Noona, staff have been responsible for registering patients with Noona. Registration rates have been consistently low. With competing clinic priorities and workload demands on front-line staff, an alternative solution was needed. Abstract:

objectiveThe objective of this study was to improve Noona registration amongst cancer patients in Manitoba, Canada. Abstract: MATERIALS: We used the business process management lifecycle approach to explore reasons for low Noona registration and identify strategies to address the issue. The process problem was identified and documented, process models were developed, and semi-structured interviews with 25 front-line staff were conducted. Noona registration was redesigned, tested, and implemented in October 2024. Abstract:

resultsFront-line staff had limited time to discuss Noona with patients and register them to use Noona when the patient attended a clinic appointment or for treatment. Staff communication tools and support for patients were limited. Based on the process analysis, a centralized, patient-driven registration process was designed, tested, and implemented. The percentage of new accounts that were patient-activated increased over time. Abstract:

conclusionThe patient-driven, centralized process increased the percentage of patient-activated Noona registrations.
