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

Background: Prospective studies examining electronic health record (EHR) implementation in multi-professional healthcare provider samples remain scarce, particularly with respect to impacts on providers' workflows and outcomes in real-world clinical settings. Objectives: To determine the prospective effects of workflow interruptions, multitasking, information overload, and burnout over time among physicians and nurses in before and after EHR adoption. Materials and Methods: Multi-methods, unit-based, and before-after-design was established to determine provider experiences before and after EHR implementation (5 months-time lag). Information on key outcome variables was assessed via standardized surveys among healthcare professionals and augmented through qualitative interviews with stakeholders to determine the quality of the EHR implementation. Prospective effects were determined within and across professions with multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 163 physicians and nurses participated (baseline: Discussion: This prospective study provides important contributions into the varying effects of profession-specific EHR adoption processes for provider workflow and burnout. EHR utilization did not per se improve workflow and provider experience. Conclusion: Future studies should investigate the interplay of profession-specific management of EHR adoption processes and respective provider outcomes.
