Efficiency analysis of surgical services by combined use of data envelopment analysis and gray relational analysis.
Article in Journal of medical systems, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of surgical services offered by a public hospital, to rank efficient services and to determine important factors on efficiency of services. DEA (to determine efficiency of services) and GRA (to rank efficient services and ranking of important variables in efficiency) were used in this study. DEA showed that all services were observably efficient except Cardiovascular and Plastic surgery. GRA showed that the services of Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Paediatric Surgery shared the first three ranks in order of decreasing frequency. Findings obtained from GRA, the most important variables in the performances of surgical services were found to be the number of patients and healthcare personnel. Findings obtained from this study are thought to help inefficient services to attain an efficient structure. When the importance of this issue regarding hospitals and the government is considered, similarly designed studies should be continually updated and revised in line with changing circumstances. When shortcomings in the existing literature are taken into account, this could be considered to be a pioneer study that will contribute to the literature and promote future studies to be conducted on this issue.
