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
backgroundBecause the quality of anesthesia affects the surgical outcome, the aim of this study was to investigate the current status of anesthetic services performed by anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists in South Korea from 2014 to 2016 and to compare the results with data from 2011 to 2013.
methodsThe claimed anesthesia services at medical institutions with employed anesthesiologists and the claims for an invitation fee for an anesthesiologist at medical institutions without employed anesthesiologists were regarded as anesthetic services performed by an anesthesiologist. From 2014 to 2016, the employment of anesthesiologists according to the type of medical institution, the status of anesthetic services according to the presence or absence of employed anesthesiologists, and status of anesthetic services at medical institutions without employed anesthesiologists were analyzed.
resultsThe proportion of medical institutions that employed anesthesiologists slightly increased from 27.8% in 2014 to 28.8% in 2016. General anesthesia was more concentrated at higher medical institutions, and most anesthesias were performed by an anesthesiologist. The proportion of spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and brachial plexus performed by non-anesthesiologists was 11%, 15%, and 16.5%, respectively. Intravenous anesthesia performed by non-anesthesiologists was 58% and has increased compared to the past.
conclusionsThe employment of anesthesiologists has increased with time, and general anesthesiology was mostly performed by anesthesiologists. However, since the proportion of anesthetic services performed by non-anesthesiologists in regional anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia was maintained high, it is necessary to find ways to expand the safety of anesthetic services.
