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
introductionFollowing upon our publication "Maturity Levels of Quality and Risk Management at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein" in 2018, we present the further development of the maturity model. Quality and risk management in hospitals is not only required by law but also plays a significant role in an optimized patient- and process-oriented health care.
methodsA questionnaire-based self-assessment was carried out by 46 clinical units of the UKSH (location Kiel and Lübeck) for the analysis of nine quality criteria overall. Four of these criteria (quality assurance (QS), critical incident reporting system (CIRS), complaint management (BM) and process management (PM)) were already analysed in 2016 and were extended to the five new aspects, namely audits and on-site inspections, responsibilities, morbidity and mortality conferences, hygiene training and surgical safety checklist. Every quality item was graded into four categories from "A" (fully implemented) to "D" (not implemented at all).
resultsThe comparison of the results for quality criteria QS, CIRS, BM, PM and the overall maturity level between 2016 and 2020 demonstrated statistically significant improvements in 2020 concerning the criteria QS (p=0.013), CIRS (p=0.026), PM (p=0.000) and the overall maturity levels (p=0.019). The criteria BM did not show any statistically significant improvement. The five newly added quality criteria demonstrated maturity levels "A" (fully implemented) and "B" (largely implemented) the following: audits and on-site inspections (100%), responsibilities (95.6%), morbidity and mortality conferences (65.2%), hygiene training (95.6%), and surgical safety checklist (100%).
conclusionAn integrated quality and risk management has already been a firm element of UKSH for years. Nevertheless, review of effectiveness of the initiated targeted measures is still a challenge. This is the reason why it is necessary to develop effective and resource-saving approaches for the evaluation of measures and the identification of potential for improvement. The recognised potential for improvement should be risk-prioritized and completely exploited using sustainable measures. Following this principle, we designed a qualitative model of maturity levels for the evaluation of our quality and risk management system at the UKSH in 2016, whose further development we demonstrate here.
