Using data envelopment analysis for assessing the performance of pediatric emergency department physicians.
Article in Health care management science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In attempting to measure the performance of providers in a service industry such as health care, it is crucial that the measurement tool recognize both the efficiency and quality of service provided. We develop a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to help assess the performance of emergency department (ED) physicians at a partner hospital. The model incorporates efficiency measures as inputs and quality measures as outputs. We demonstrate the importance of a nuanced approach that recognizes the heterogeneity of patients that an ED physician encounters and the important role s/he plays as a mentor for physicians in training. In the study, patients were grouped according to their presenting complaint and ED physicians were assessed on each group separately. Performance variations were evident between physicians within each complaint group as well as between groups. A secondary grouping divided patients based on whether the attending physician was assisted by a trainee. Almost all ED physicians showed better performance scores when not assisted by trainees or ED fellows.
