Standardised electronic algorithms for monitoring prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

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
introductionDespite comprehensive guidelines with high-grade evidence, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a frequent problem in anaesthesia care. Anaesthesia information management systems (AIMS) may aid clinicians in PONV prevention, but their benefit is critically dependent on the details of implementation into practice. This study aimed to examine strengths and weaknesses of the local AIMS-based algorithm in prevention of PONV. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) of a university hospital and included 10 604 patients aged 18 or older who were followed up in the PACU (intracranial, obstetrical or cardiothoracic surgery excluded) from March 2013 until March 2014. The PONV incidence in PACU and AIMS data validity were analysed.
resultsAdherence to PONV guideline recommendations was considerably low, with only 5749 (54%) of the patients receiving correct PONV prophylaxis. Two thousand seven hundred sixty-six (26%) of the patients received an insufficient PONV prophylaxis, which was associated with an excess PONV incidence (11% vs. 4% with correct prophylaxis,
conclusionsAdherence to PONV prophylaxis guidelines in the era of AIMS software and decision support is still remarkably low. The AIMS data usefulness depends on the user, the type of data input and the configuration of the software. Adherence to correct PONV prophylaxis should be re-evaluated systematically before discharge from PACU.
