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

Mistakes will always happen whether at work or in our personal lives. We can never completely eliminate error, but learning and disseminating lessons from these mistakes to others is essential. Human factors application for colleagues in healthcare, particularly in low- and medium-income countries (LMIC) can greatly improve patient safety and aid better team working and staff morale. Factors such as hunger, dehydration anger, and tiredness, all reduce personal performance and can raise the risk of personal error. It is vital that we understand and optimize interaction within the healthcare team members. As part of this, ineffective communication, steep hierarchy and loss of situational awareness can lead to compromised patient safety and potentially serious error. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of human factors for healthcare colleagues in LMIC. We highlight ways to reduce the chances of error and improve patient safety by recognizing and applying various human factors to our day to day practices.
