A Night Float System in Nephrology Fellowship: A Mixed Methods Evaluation.
Article in Kidney360, 2020. 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
Background: Johns Hopkins was an early adopter of an in-house nephrology fellowship night float to improve work-life balance. Our study aimed to elucidate attitudes to guide fellowship structuring. Methods: We performed a mixed-methods study surveying Johns Hopkins fellows, alumni, and faculty and conducting one focus group of current fellows. Surveys were developed through literature review, queried on a five-point Likert scale, and analyzed with Results: Survey response rates were 14 (100%) fellows, 32 (91%) alumni, and 17 (94%) faculty. All groups felt quality of patient care was good to excellent with no significant differences among groups (range of means [SD], 4.1 [0.7]-4.6 [0.7]; Conclusions: Night float was well liked and enhanced the perceived daytime fellow experience. Alumni and faculty were positive about night float, although less so, possibly due to concerns for adequate preparation to handle overnight calls after graduation. Night float implementation at other nephrology programs should be considered based on program resources; such changes should be assessed by similar methods.
