Forest plot of the effect of CDSS for prescribing on physician practice performance and patient outcome based on subgroup analysis for CDSS types. The subgroup analysis for various CDSS types showed a significant difference for alerts (CI 0.082–0.0187); combination types of CDSSs (CI 0.022–0.372); recommendation CDSSs (CI 0.063–0.166); reminders (CI 0.072–0.189); and instructional CDSSs (0.081 to 0.178). The results are assessed following the exclusion of khonsari et al. [33]; Ackerman et al. [49]; Avansino et al. [51] and Bruxvoort et al. [59] studies
