Trial report in American journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04850586 (The Impact of Structured Education Given by a Multidisciplinary Team on Pain, Anxiety, and Activities of Daily Living in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients often have an incomplete understanding of the levels of training and roles of the various surgical providers in teaching hospitals, leading to patient confusion and dissatisfaction.

methodsPre-intervention discharge surveys were administered to gastrointestinal surgery inpatients (10/2016-02/2017) to evaluate sentiments regarding their surgical team. During the intervention period (02/2017-05/2017), patients at admission received "facesheets" containing team member profiles, photos, training level, and roles. These patients were evaluated using the survey, and pre- and post-intervention scores compared.

results153 pre- and 100 post-intervention surveys were collected. There was a significant increase in patients reporting it was important to know the surgical team members and that they knew team member roles (p ≤ 0.05). Scores in every domain of the satisfaction survey improved in the post-intervention period, although not reaching statistical significance.

conclusionsImproving how patients perceive their interactions with their surgical team has implications on patient satisfaction and hospital quality metrics.
