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 and Aims: According to different theories in the field of using web technologies, it can be said that portals are one of the most appropriate tools to facilitate the process of care, communication, and education. Therefore, this systematic review aims to identify the features and functions of health portals that are critical for the success and widespread use of patient web-based portals. Methods: On August 28, 2022, a systematic search was conducted without a time limit in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Preferential reporting guidelines for systematic review and meta-analysis studies were followed. Titles and abstracts were independently screened based on eligibility criteria. The checklist was used for data extraction, and finally, started to identify the functional features of patient portals based on the review of retrieved articles. Results: We retrieved 1561 articles after initial screening and removing duplicate articles. After reviewing the title and abstract of the articles and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, finally, 22 articles were selected for full-text review. The required data were extracted based on the checklist designed for this purpose. A total of 186 features were obtained for the design of the patient portal, which led to the identification of 6 main structural features and 30 content features for the design of the portal. Conclusion: Identifying the structural and content features of patient portals can help healthcare providers and organizations in designing patient portals according to the needs of patients and considering the requirements comprehensively.
