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

Akin to the rapid growth in hospitalist medicine seen in the prior decade, there has been a recent explosion in the need for neurohospitalists. Factors driving this demand include nationally mandated quality and safety measures, the increasing complexity and age of the hospitalized patient, and diminished training in diagnosis and management of neurological illnesses for internal medicine residents. The role of the neurohospitalist is varied and may include not only providing neurological care to hospitalized patients but also serving as a leader in an institution's push to meet quality and safety measures. Close collaboration with intensivists, vascular neurologists, and outpatient neurologists is both a challenge and essential for successful delivery of care both during hospitalization and after discharge. Future challenges facing neurohospitalists include defining its relationship to other fields, instituting a pathway for certification, and conducting research to guide the development of evidence-based practice and quality measures.
