Trial report in Der Anaesthesist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03786445 (Analysis of In-hospital Emergency Team Calls in a German Tertiary Care University Hospital From 2013 to 2016), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundRecent studies demonstrated that in-hospital emergencies are linked to a higher patient mortality. In approximately 10% of patients an unexpected incident occurs during the hospital stay. Therefore, the establishment of in-hospital medical emergency teams (MET) is becoming more important in the interdisciplinary emergency treatment. The aim of this study was an analysis of medical documentation, operational tactics and procedures taken by MET of the University Hospital of Cologne in a 4-year period ranging from 2013 to 2016. MATERIAL AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of 1664 emergency forms from MET activities at the University Hospital of Cologne from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2016 was carried out. Every MET activation call via the emergency telephone number (5555) and subsequent emergency treatment was recorded using a standardized documentation form. The registry number on ClinicalTrials.gov is NCT03786445.
resultsThere were 1664 emergency team calls in the whole study period. Between 2013 (404 calls) and 2016 (461 calls) the number of calls increased by 11.4%. The total mission time of the MET increased in the study period from 8342 min (2013) to 10,800 min (2016, +29.5%) and the average mission time increased from 2013 (35 min) to 2016 (40 min) by 14.3%. The primary reason for activation was collapse or syncope and was the underlying cause for 29% of calls. The number of deployments for emergencies at weekends was 50% of those during weekdays and 6.5% of the calls were for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
conclusionAnalysis of data revealed that the number of MET calls, total operating time and average deployment time increased from 2013 to 2016. The primary reason for MET activations was collapse or syncope and every 17th deployment was for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The incidence of in-hospital cardiac arrests decreased during the study period.
