The Use of Electronic Health Records in Physiotherapy Practice: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionPhysiotherapy has been proven to be highly cost-effective in managing some health conditions, reducing the demand for surgery, pharmacological treatment, hospitalisations, and long-term care. Several organisations and policymakers have already acknowledged that physiotherapy is essential in any health care system, but services need improvement. However, improving physiotherapy services requires efficient collection of real-world data and more in-depth data management. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have proven to be reliable in managing data in various health care service settings, yet there continues to be little investment in these platforms, especially in physiotherapy. This scoping review aims to map the evidence on the multiple uses of EHRs in physiotherapy, to better understand their applicability in this field. METHODOLOGY: This protocol will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological guidelines for scoping reviews. Original studies and grey literature from 2010 onwards, written in English, Portuguese, or Spanish, concerning the characteristics, development, implementation process, and outcomes of Physiotherapy registry platforms will be included. Search will be conducted on four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science). Two independent reviewers will assess and select the articles. Data extracted will include information regarding EHRs main characteristics (e.g., types of users, type of data collected, functions, context), development and implementation processes, and outcomes of registry platforms, in all fields of physiotherapy. The information will be registered, aggregated by categories, and displayed in tables and charts mapping the distribution of studies alongside a narrative summary. DISCUSSION: The proposed scoping review will synthesise key knowledge to provide significant literature-based insights into the steps, strategies, and procedures necessary for developing and implementing physiotherapy EHRs.
