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: The transition to electronic health records (EHR) has improved the quality of health-care delivery and patient safety. However, poor usability and incongruent workflow may impose a significant burden on documentation and time management, resulting in staff burnout. We aimed to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of personalized EHR training on wellness providers' knowledge and practical competencies, and (ii) assess staff satisfaction regarding the EHR usage post-training. Methodology: An interventional study was conducted between July 15, 2021, and March 1, 2022, among 14 wellness staff (age: 38 ± 3.9 years; 7 males, 7 females) in the Wellness Center-Rawdat Al-Khail Health Center. Six months of blended training was delivered. The impact of training was assessed using a pre-post survey on the knowledge and practical competencies related to EHR usage. Staff satisfaction was assessed post-training. Results: Majority of respondents had improvement in identifying the advantages of EHR: improve confidentiality of care (pre = 35.7% vs post = 100%, p = 0.001), reduce medical errors (pre = 35.7% vs post = 85.7%, p = 0.02), improve quality of health care (pre = 35.7% vs post = 100%, p = 0.001), and reduce wait time (pre = 42.9% vs post = 85.7%, p = 0.03). Time performing these tasks by massage therapists/receptionists was reduced: viewing/editing ambulatory organizer (pre = 20±0 s vs post = 10±0 s), access PM office (pre = 155±136 s vs post = 10±0 s), selection/access patient chart (pre = 75±30 s vs post = 30±20 s), check-in/out (pre = 120±0 s vs post = 60±0 s), and view/edit massage form (pre = 135±75.5 s vs post = 60±0 s). For gym instructors, time to access ambulatory organizer (pre = 30±0 s vs post = 10±0 s), view/edit the gym form (pre = 101±57 s vs post = 71±36 s), view patients' clinical data (pre = 60±70 s vs post = 10±3 s), and place referral orders (pre = 197±144 vs post = 82±23 s) was reduced. A mean percentage score of 65.4±38.7 indicated very good staff satisfaction. Conclusion: This tailored, hands-on training has been well received and effectively improved wellness staff knowledge, competencies, and satisfaction relative to EHR functionalities.
