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

unlabelledEmergencies are common in our Otorhinolaringology specialty. However, the clinical and epidemiological features are not very well known.

objectivesTo evaluate the clinical and epidemiological profiles of otorhinolaryngological disorders in an emergency unit of a tertiary hospital, and to determine the appropriateness of the level of health care for a tertiary hospital. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn analytical study using data records of an otorhinolaryngological emergency unit at a tertiary hospital in the Federal District for a year, full time, and no screening. The age, sex, arrival time and clinical diagnosis were evaluated. The entities were separated into cases of pharingolaryngoesthomatology, otology, rhinology, and head and neck surgery. These were evaluated according to the urgency level, the required care, and the arrival time.

results26,584 data records were selected, of which 2,001 were excluded. The group comprised 54. 48% women, and 45. 51% men. Otological complaints (62. 27%) prevailed. 61. 26% of cases were considered emergencies. Only 9. 7% of those required medium or high complex resources for resolution.

conclusionsThe study showed that 61. 26% of the otorhinolaryngological cases are emergencies, and only 9. 7% required medium or high complexity resources.
