Comparison of the Outcome of Patient Management with Physician Extenders Only and with both Residents and Extenders.
Article in Cureus, 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
This was a retrospective study that aimed to determine the treatment outcome of patients seen in the trauma unit of the Johnson City Medical Center (JCMC). The study included 2844 patients in the trauma registry and evaluated age, sex, injury severity score (ISS), length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU), overall hospital lengths of stay (LOS), ventilator days, discharge disposition, and complications between one group managed by extenders only and the second managed by both residents and extenders. The sample size of the two groups was similar (group one = 1446 and group two = 1398) and the proportions of males and females in the two groups were identical (males = 65%, females = 35%). Both groups had similar mechanisms of injury, although group one had a higher percentage of falls (32.9% vs. 22.03%) and group two had a higher proportion of motor vehicle crash (MVC) traumas (40.41% vs 30%). There was no significant difference in those discharged home and deaths between the two groups. (χ
