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

introductionEpic MyChart, used as a patient portal or within Epic Healthy Planet programmes, is integrated with the Epic electronic health record system, enabling secure access to health information, communication with clinicians and self-management tools. Despite increasing portal adoption in the UK and internationally, there is fragmented and unclear evidence demonstrating impact on clinical outcomes, engagement, safety, experience, efficiency and equity. This scoping review will map existing research on Epic MyChart, identify barriers and facilitators to uptake, and explore technical and operational determinants influencing implementation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a scoping review guided by Arksey and O'Malley's framework, refined by Levac ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not required as the review uses published data. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication, conferences and stakeholder engagement to inform implementation of patient portals internationally. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The protocol is registered on the Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/5azdh/overview).
