Association of Prolonged Emergency Department Length of Stay with Adverse Events in Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Article in Open access emergency medicine : OAEM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: To study the association between prolonged emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) and in-hospital adverse events in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of 738 patients diagnosed with NSTE-ACS and admitted to the emergency department (ED) from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2019 were reviewed. The patients were categorized into groups with EDLOS < 4 hours and EDLOS ≥ 4 hours, and baseline characteristics, clinical presentation, Killip classification, Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events score, investigations, use of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-hour and 0/3-hour algorithms, and treatments in the ED were compared between the groups. The associations of in-hospital adverse events with EDLOS were examined using univariate logistic regression. Results: Four hundred and twenty-three (57.3%) patients had an EDLOS of ≥ 4 hours, and the median (IQR) EDLOS was 4.48 hours (3.03, 6.20 hours). EDLOS ≥ 4 h was associated with a prolonged time to receive P2Y Conclusion: Prolonged EDLOS showed a significant association with longer times to receive P2Y
