Internet-based self-scheduling is associated with a high degree of physician satisfaction in an academic emergency medicine group.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2023. 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
There are various methods for scheduling emergency physicians ranging from a schedule created by hand by a physician scheduler, fixed templates, to computer-assisted scheduling. The authors describe a novel method adopted by an academic emergency department using remote asynchronous physician self-scheduling. The physician group follows a pre-determined order in which each physician chooses where to place his or her assigned proportion of day/evening/weekend/night shifts on the shared calendar that is hosted in a cloud-based spreadsheet. This process gives physicians a high degree of control over their schedules, and the participants related a high degree of satisfaction regarding this process. This method of physician scheduling is a low-cost successful alternative to conventional emergency physician scheduling practices.
