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

This paper provides insights into the use of performance data by middle managerial staff in Ontario hospitals in 2019 and compares the results to a study conducted in Europe in the same year. A total of 236 managers working in 61 hospitals across Ontario provided responses to the survey. Compared to their European colleagues, Ontario respondents self-assessed using significantly more performance data for managerial decision making. The use of performance data in Ontario was mostly motivated by external accountability requirements, followed by internal quality improvement efforts. Ontario managers also reported accessibility, appropriateness and timeliness of data and human resources and engagement as the biggest barriers to further performance data utilization. Comparative studies, such as the one this paper is based on, provide the foundation for drawing lessons across jurisdictions. This paper also affirms the importance of hospital middle management in moving from quality assurance to quality improvement efforts and developing sustainable learning healthcare organizations and systems.
