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

National Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) semiannual reports (SARs) revealed high observed to expected ratios for venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) on the surgical service. Press Ganey scores identified an area of particular weakness in shared decision-making in patient care. Patients reported little to no participation in shared decision-making. A performance improvement project was developed with a 2-fold objective: decrease the percentages of patients sustaining VTE through adequate screening and prophylaxis (VTEP) and to engage patients in shared decision-making to accept VTEP through enhanced patient-centered discussions and education on the risks and benefits of VTEP. A clinical pathway was developed to implement VTEP using a standardized risk assessment tool. Patient-centered discussion introduced VTEP and impact on perioperative safety. Results included telephone survey, NSQIP SARs, and Press Ganey patient experience survey. Using NSQIP data and a pathway developed for both VTE risk assessment and patient engagement, the authors observe immediate improvements in patient experience and decreased rates of VTE.
