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
backgroundEmergency department (ED) overcrowding is one of the leading problems of health-care organizations, discerned by ED medical staff, but it has never been measured objectively.
objectiveA 2 months prospective cross-sectional study was conducted to compare ED overcrowding measurement tools with the perceptions of ED emergency physician and ED assistant nursing superintendent (EDEP/EDANS).
resultsThe results have shown that perceptions of ED overcrowding as noted by EDEP and EDANS, taken on a Likert scale, were 83.34% and 86.67%, respectively. Kappa values show a significant agreement between EDEP and EDANS subjective perceptions with objective values of the National Emergency Department Overcrowding Study (NEDOCS), Real-time Emergency Analysis of Demand Indicators (READI), and Emergency Department Work Index (EDWIN) scales. Furthermore, all three scales have statistically significant correlation; NEDOCS and READI had highest level of correlation coefficient (
conclusionTherefore, these scales may serve to quantify the subjective impressions of ED overcrowding. Evidence is clear of overcrowding harms, measures are needed to provide urgent medical care and future work up is need of the hour to systematically evaluate interventions and guide evidence-based policies.
