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

Health systems face increasing pressure to optimise value: providing the best quality care for the lowest possible cost. In the US, changes in modern healthcare, along with early efforts to contain costs, fuelled the growth of a new cadre of inpatient clinicians known as hospitalists. This commentary briefly reviews the history of the hospitalist movement through the lens of healthcare value, examines the evidence for value improvement in the care and training provided by hospitalists, and concludes by exploring both the lessons learned and remaining challenges facing hospitalists. We believe that openness to challenging the status quo was a critical enabler of the US hospitalist's impact on both the healthcare workforce and the American care delivery model. This spirit of re-engineering has far-reaching implications, both in the USA and abroad.
