An Analysis of Waiting Time for Emergency Treatment and Optimal Allocation of Nursing Manpower.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveEmergency care is the frontline of the healthcare system. Taiwanese typically seek emergency care when suffering from an acute or unknown illness, which leads to a large number of emergency patients and the related misallocation of nursing manpower, and the excessive workloads of emergency service providers have become serious issues for Taiwan's medical institutions.
participantsThis study conducted purposive sampling and recruited patients and nursing staffs from the emergency room of a medical center in New Taipei City as the research participants.
methodsThis study applied the queueing theory and the derived optimal model to solve the problems of excessive workloads for emergency service providers and misallocation of nursing manpower, in an attempt to provide decision makers with more flexible resource allocation and process improvement suggestions.
resultsThis study analyzed the causes of emergency service overload and identified solutions for improving nursing manpower utilization.
conclusionsA wait-time model and the queueing theory were used to determine resource parameters for the optimal allocation of patient waiting times and to develop the best model for estimating nursing manpower.
