[Staffing levels and patient-related outcomes : Systematic literature review on international evidence].
Synthesis in Der Nervenarzt, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The objective of this study was to systematically review the international literature with respect to significant links between staffing levels or qualification on the one hand and patient-related outcomes on the other. Of the initial 7778 abstracts identified by means of a complex search strand in PubMed and CINAHL, 51 could finally be included in a qualitative synthesis. A total of nine different patient-related outcome categories with significant associations on an at least ordinally scaled level were distinguished. None of the studies included had a (quasi-)experimental research design. Despite, in some instances, high numbers of cases at multiple sites and efforts to control obvious confounding variables by regression analysis, no evidence-based conclusions for health policy or clinical practice can be drawn from the available observational studies. There is therefore a considerable need for prospective randomized or at least quasi-experimental studies also as accompanying research on novel models of financing.
