Resident-led Implementation of a Standardized Handoff System to Facilitate Transfer of Postoperative Neurosurgical Patients to the ICU.
Article in Cureus, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transitions in care are pivotal moments for patient safety. Although many strategies have been suggested for handoff improvement in the healthcare realm, little focus has been placed on patient safety during the transition from the operative to the postoperative setting. Many surgical trainees have received limited instruction, if any, on how to conduct comprehensive handoffs that ensure the safe transition of care and optimize continuity of care. Therefore, structured transfers of patient care can be invaluable. Here, we describe the implementation of a standardized handoff system developed by residents in an academic neurosurgery department to communicate key perioperative data via both electronic documentation and in-person discussion as a means of reinforcement. Our results are part of a comprehensive effort to strengthen the culture of safety surrounding the care and treatment of neurosurgical patients at our institution.
