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
Objective: Despite the recognized need to leverage health information technology (IT) to facilitate error detection, there are few health IT safety measures in use and limited resources available to guide the conceptualization, development, and testing of new measures. Audit log data provide a rich source of clinician behaviors within the electronic health record (EHR), which can be used to develop health IT safety measures. Materials and Methods: With illustrative examples, we describe a framework for the development and evaluation of novel order error measures by employing the Retract-and-Reorder (RAR) methodology, which uses audit log data to identify actions indicative of potential order errors. Results: Topics covered include the following: (1) insight into the value of large data repositories generated during clinical care for creating automated health IT safety measures, (2) the principles and theoretical model that underly the ability of RAR measures to detect order errors, (3) an experience-based framework for the conceptualization, implementation, validation, and optimization of new RAR measures to detect order errors, and (4) applications of RAR measures to guide understanding of health IT safety events. Discussion: This report is intended for informatics and health services researchers and healthcare system leadership who seek to utilize EHR audit log data to identify and quantify order errors in EHR systems. Conclusion: The methodology described can be applied to develop automated measures to detect a range of order error types, examine the epidemiology, and investigate the root causes of order errors in near-real-time, as well as rigorously evaluate the impact of preventive interventions.
