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

Low- and middle-income countries urgently need to improve emergency medical services (EMSs) as a component of their healthcare systems. Here, we detailed EMS resources and their provision in Hanoi, Vietnam, and discussed necessary policies to upgrade EMSs. Between 2013 and 2018, EMS resources, measured as provider-to-population and ambulance-to-population ratios, decreased, whereas service provision, measured as the number of patients transported by ambulance per population, increased. EMS resources and their provision in Hanoi are far below the standards of high-income countries or figures in neighboring Asian countries. Therefore, it is imperative to upgrade health policies for the appropriate allocation of healthcare resources to EMSs and hospital services.
