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

Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan has been on the forefront of efforts to manage and mitigate the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic since 20th January 2020. Despite having one of the largest and busiest emergency departments (EDs) in the world, we have managed to maintain a "zero-infection" rate among our ED healthcare workers through various systematic approaches. The measures implemented include establishing a clear flowchart with route planning, strict infection control policies and regulation of medical equipment, and team-based segregation in the workplace. These strategies, borne of our experience during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, can complement a network of well-trained personnel to enable EDs around the world in successfully mounting an effective defense against new airborne illness while minimizing healthcare personnel casualties.
