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

backgroundThis study aimed at describing the changes in the completeness of documentation and changes in decision to incision time interval of emergency cesarean sections after an audit and feedback project a rural hospital in Sierra Leone.

methodsWe documented and monitored the decision and incision times for emergency cesarean sections over the course of two years. Year one focused on the introduction of the project and year two focused on the continuous monitoring of the project. We compared the completeness of decision to incision data and used the 30-min benchmark as target for the decision to incision time interval.

resultsA total of 762 emergency cesarean sections were included. While the completion of decision time data (72%) did not change between the two reporting periods, documentation of incision time increased from 95% to 98% (

conclusionAlthough not all cesarean sections were performed within the 30-min threshold, the decision to incision interval decreased significantly. Improvements in documentation and routine reporting of the decision to incision time interval is recommended.
