The purpose of ward rounds.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Ward rounds are a highly important forum for collaborative medical reasoning. Despite being prevalent for over a century, they are under-researched. In particular, no clear and comprehensive statement of the purpose of ward rounds exists in the literature. This letter provides such a statement. Having the purpose of ward rounds clearly described helps to provide a foundation for evaluating the effectiveness of rounds and suggesting ways in which rounds can be improved.
