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
backgroundHospitalist physicians are performing fewer procedures because of multiple reasons, including expanded responsibilities beyond their patient panel. A procedure service that offloads hospitalists could expedite these necessary services. An opportunity exists for physician assistants (PAs) and NPs to fill this gap.
objectiveTo describe the implementation of a PA- and NP-run procedure service at a large academic hospital.
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of procedures by the procedure service at one institution from 2015 to 2019.
resultsOver 5 years, 7,002 procedures were performed, with requests increasing over time. The most frequent procedures were venous access, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, and placement of nasogastric or nasojejunal tubes. Requesting services included hospitalists and residents from internal medicine, surgery, and neurology.
conclusionsA PA- and NP-run procedure service is well accepted at a large academic hospital despite the lack of involvement by attending physicians. Future directions are focused on augmenting coverage and procedures offered.
