Principles of Screening for Disease and Health Risk Factors in the Emergency Department.
Article in Annals of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The emergency department serves as a critical access point to the health system for many patients, especially those with limited resources. Screening for disease or risk factors for poor health outcomes can potentially improve both individual and population health. Screening initiatives should focus on evidence-based strategies and take local epidemiology and ED capacity into consideration. Initiatives should strive for community support and transparency with patients. They should also be financially sustainable for those involved. Screening can identify patients who can then be counseled, provided with prophylaxis or treatment, or referred to external resources. Through screening and intervention, the ED can serve as a vital contributor to individual and population health.
