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

Introduction: Clinician movement and workflow analysis provides an opportunity to identify inefficiencies during trauma resuscitation care. Inefficient workflows may represent latent safety threats (LSTs), defined as unrecognised system-based elements that can negatively impact patients. In situ simulation (ISS) can be used to model resuscitation workflows without direct impact on patients. We report the pilot application of a novel, tracing tool to track clinician movement during high-fidelity ISS trauma sessions. Methods: Twelve unannounced ISSs were conducted. An open source, Windows-based video overlay tracing tool was developed to generate a visual representation of participant movement during ISS. This tracing tool used a manual mouse tracking algorithm to produce point-by-point location information of a selected participant in a video. The tracing tool was applied to video recordings of clinicians performing a cricothyroidotomy during ISS trauma scenarios. A comparative workflow and movement analysis was completed, which included distance travelled and space utilisation. This data was visually represented with time-lapsed movement videos and heat maps. Results: A fourfold difference in the relative distance travelled was observed between participants who performed a cricothyroidotomy during an ISS trauma resuscitation. Variation in each participant's movement was attributable to three factors: (1) team role assignment and task allocation; (2) knowledge of clinical space: equipment location and path to equipment retrieval; and (3) equipment bundling. This tool facilitated LST identification related to cricothyroidotomy performance. Conclusion: This novel tracing tool effectively generated a visual representation of participants' workflows and quantified movement during ISS video review. An improved understanding of human movement during ISS trauma resuscitations provides a unique opportunity to augment simulation debriefing, conduct human factor analysis of system elements (eg, tools/technology, physical environment/layout) and foster change management towards efficient workflows.
