The effect of overnight in-house attending coverage on perceptions of care and education on a general medical service.
Article in Journal of graduate medical education, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundAn increased emphasis on patient safety has led to calls for closer supervision of medical trainees. It is unclear what effect an increased degree of faculty presence will have on educational and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate resident and attending attitudes and preferences regarding overnight attending supervision.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional electronic survey of physicians. Participants were resident and faculty physicians recently on inpatient service rotations after implementation of an overnight attending coverage system.
resultsOf 58 total respondents, most faculty (91%) and resident (92%) physicians reported they were satisfied with the overall quality of care delivered and believed the quality of care delivered overnight improved with an in-house attending system (90% and 85%, respectively). Most resident physicians (82%) believed the educational experience improved with the system of increased attending availability. Nearly all faculty (95%) and resident (97%) physicians preferred the in-house attending system to the traditional system of attendings being available by pager. The implementation of such coverage resulted in increased cost to the hospital for compensating covering hospitalist physicians.
conclusionIn-house attending coverage was acceptable to both residents and faculty, with perceived improvements in quality and educational experience.
