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

Ambulatory emergency care (AEC) has been developed by clinicians as a means of providing emergency care without the traditional bed base of a hospital. Given that AEC is provided in a clinic-style setting, it can continue to operate during periods of high bed occupancy, alleviating bed pressures and continuing to provide timely care for selected patients. Although different models of AEC have developed according to local context, there are common principles that apply to AEC services, including early access to senior decision-makers, opening hours matching demand, access to diagnostics, close collaboration with other clinical services, a mixed workforce and patient selection processes. Some of the key AEC developments have been related to technology, including high-sensitivity troponin, low-molecular-weight heparins and computer tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography. Risk stratification tools are useful for assessing the appropriateness of using AEC as a care model for patients.
