Disposition disparities in an urban tertiary emergency department.
Article in Emergency medicine Australasia : EMA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo explore disparities between Māori and non-Māori patients with respect to triage acuity and disposition based on presenting complaint.
methodsThis was a retrospective review of 5788 (n = 594 Māori, n = 5194 non-Māori) ED visits in February 2021, extracted from the hospital data warehouse.
resultsMāori were triaged similarly to non-Māori but were less likely to be admitted compared to non-Māori: relative risk 0.87 (0.78, 0.97), P = 0.008.
conclusionMāori were less likely to be admitted for similar presenting complaints, despite similar triage acuity. Further research is required to determine the reasons for this apparent inequity.
