1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPrevious literature has demonstrated adverse patient outcomes associated with racial/ethnic disparities in health services. Because patients/parents and providers care about the duration of anesthesia, this study focuses on this outcome.

objectivesTo determine the association between race/ethnicity and duration under anesthesia. RESEARCH

designIn this retrospective cohort study of data from the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group, White non-Latino was the reference and was compared with Black non-Latino children, Latino, Asian, Native American, Other, and "Unknown" race children. SUBJECTS: Children aged 3 to 17 years. OUTCOMES: Induction duration (primary outcome), procedure-end duration, and total duration under anesthesia (secondary outcomes).

resultsOf 37,596 eligible cases, 9,610 cases with complete data were analyzed. The sample consisted of 6,894 White non-Latino patients, 1,021 Black non-Latino patients, 50 Latino patients, 287 Asian patients, 26 Native American patients, 57 "Other" race patients, and 1,275 patients of "Unknown" race. The mean induction time was 11.9 min (SD 5.6 min). In adjusted analysis, Black non-Latino patients had 5% longer induction and procedure-end durations than White non-Latino children (exponentiated beta coefficient [Exp (β)] 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.08, p < 0.01 and Exp (β) 1.08, 95% CI 1.04-1.13, p < 0.01 respectively).

conclusionsWhite non-Latino children had shorter induction and procedure-end durations than Black children. The differences in induction and procedure-end time were small but may be meaningful on a population-health level.
