Electronic Health Record Integration of a Calculator for Cesarean Risk During Labor Induction.
Article in Learning health systems, 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
Introduction: Our group developed a calculator to predict individualized likelihood of cesarean delivery for patients undergoing labor induction. We aimed to determine whether nudge theory informed EHR integration of the cesarean risk calculator would increase (1) calculator utilization, and (2) documentation of patient counseling on the result. Methods: This was a prospective cohort comparing 6 months pre (10/2022-4/2023) versus 6 months post EHR-release of the cesarean risk calculator (4/2023-10/2023) in two labor units. Prior to EHR-integration, Site #1 had a 2018 focused effort towards calculator website use, while Site #2 had no previous use. EHR-integration was automated to recognize eligible patients and allowed clinicians to confirm and utilize EHR variables for score automation, visible on electronic display. Counseling recommendations, specific to the patient's cesarean risk level, were then available for insertion into an EHR-note. The primary outcomes were (1) calculator utilization measured as a score generated in the EHR and (2) risk counseling defined as documentation of score discussion with the patient. The primary outcomes were also analyzed stratified by site. Results: A total of 2018 patients met eligibility criteria for the cesarean risk calculator (pre:998; post:1010). Clinician calculator utilization significantly increased POST-EHR implementation from 13.4% to 77.4% ( Conclusion: Behaviorally designed EHR integration of a cesarean risk calculator for labor induction was associated with significant increases in calculator utilization and documentation of patient counseling. This model could be applied to other evidence-based health-related risk calculators.
