Factors affecting -individual task prioritisation in a workplace setting.
Review in Future healthcare journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Task prioritisation (TP), the ability to arrange assigned responsibilities in order of importance, has been identified by doctors as the most important non-technical skill when working out of hours. This review aimed to identify the factors influencing task prioritisation in a workplace setting. The following databases were searched for relevant studies: BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO as well as the reference lists of relevant articles, review papers and Google Scholar. Data were extracted from the studies using a standard proforma. Twenty relevant papers were identified from management, aviation and healthcare fields. Task prioritisation ability differed across individuals and was associated with personality and experience. Tasks were prioritised based on length, urgency, importance and reward. With practice people become more efficient at task prioritisation. Practical applications include education, personalised task management software and intrusive notifications. Additional research is needed to assess the effects of such interventions in a healthcare setting.
