Does the Time of Solitary Rapid Response Team Call Affect Patient Outcome?
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveThe study aimed to evaluate the effect of a single after-hours rapid response team (RRT) calls on patient outcome.
designA retrospective cohort study of RRT-call data over a 3-year period.
settingA 600-bedded, tertiary referral, public university hospital.
participantsAll adult patients who had a single RRT-call during their hospital stay.
interventionNone. MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: The primary outcome was to compare all-cause in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were to study the hourly variation of RRT-calls and the mortality rate.
resultsOf the total 5,108 RRT-calls recorded, 1,916 patients had a single RRT-call. Eight hundred and sixty-one RRT-calls occurred during work-hours (08:00-17:59 hours) and 1,055 during after-hours (18:00-7:59). The all-cause in-hospital mortality was higher (15.07% vs 9.75%, OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.24-2.17,
conclusionPatients having an after-hour RRT-call appear to have a higher risk for hospital mortality. No causal mechanism could be identified other than a decrease in hourly RRT usage during after-hours. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Singh MY, Vegunta R, Karpe K, Rai S.
