Management Decisions: The Effectiveness and Size of the Emergency Medical Team.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 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
In Poland, often for economic reasons, the staffing of medical rescue teams is limited to the legally required minimum. This gives rise to problems related to the effectiveness and efficiency of medical rescue teams. A literature review did not find any sources addressing the issue of the verification of the effectiveness of paramedic teams depending on the personnel composition of units. The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of resuscitation depending on the size of the medical rescue team, comparing the work of two- and three-person teams. In total, 100 two-person teams and an analogous number of three-person units were studied. Statistical analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 package. The results showed that the assessment of the condition of the victim as well as the ability to assess the heart rhythm and monitor the condition during advanced measures were more effective in three-person teams; three-person teams also used oxygen more frequently during advanced life support (ALS). Most of the elements influenced the quality of resuscitation and it can be unequivocally stated that the work of three rescuers is more efficient and definitely more effective.
