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

backgroundDigital health, especially in Primary Health Care (PHC), has been expanding rapidly, encompassing various technologies to improve care. This study aims to evaluate the integration of digital technologies in PHC, identifying barriers and facilitators in a Brazilian capital in an urban context.

methodsA survey with a questionnaire based on a validated model was used, involving physicians and nurses from Basic Health Units. The analysis included descriptive statistics and association tests in the SPSS software, with a significance level of 5%.

resultsThe findings show the presence of computers and the use of e-SUS/Electronic Citizen Record in all units, highlighting WhatsApp

conclusionsIt is recommended to strengthen policies for professional qualification and investments in infrastructure, aiming at the continuity and improvement of the use of Information and Communication Technologies in PHC. These findings offer comparable insights for similar contexts in Brazil in urban PHC settings and countries with equivalent socioeconomic contexts and analogous public health systems.
