Pediatric hospitalist perceptions regarding trainees' effects on cost and quality of care.
Article in Hospital pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo determine pediatric hospitalists' perceptions about residents' effects on cost and quality of care and their own ability to provide and teach cost-effective, high-quality care.
methodsA 15-item survey assessing hospitalist perceptions of resident impact on costs/quality and their role in teaching cost-effectiveness was developed and sent to 180 hospitalists from 113 institutions in the United States.
resultsOf 180 hospitalists surveyed, 127 completed surveys (71%). Overall, 76 (60%) and 91 (72%) hospitalists believed that residents increase quality and cost of care, respectively. Respondents who worked with residents all the time were more likely to state that residents increase quality (50 of 70 [71%]) compared with those who worked with residents sometimes (18 of 42 [43%]) or never (8 of 15 [53%]; P=.01). Similarly, academic hospitalists were more likely than community hospitalists to believe that residents increase quality (67 of 103 [65%] vs 9 of 24 [38%]; P=.03). Although only 28 (22%) respondents reported receiving formal cost-effectiveness training, 116 (91%) believed that they provided cost-effective care, and 103 (81%) believed that they were qualified to teach this topic. Most respondents (n=115 [91%]) believed that residents should participate in a cost-effectiveness curriculum.
conclusionsMost respondents felt trainees increase both the costs and quality of care for hospitalized children. The perception of increased quality was associated with increased resident interaction, whereas cost perceptions were similar across groups. Pediatric hospitalists report a lack of formal cost-effectivesness training, but nearly all respondents supported the incorporation of such training into graduate medical education programs.
