Article in Pediatric quality & safety. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: In 2013, Nationwide Children's Hospital's (NCH) Quality Tool School (QTS) was created as an initial Quality Improvement educational series, composed of three separate classes, totaling 5.5 hours of hands-on QI training. QTS complemented the NCH 40-hour Quality Improvement Essentials course. Methods: Over 10 years, the series went through three phases of aims: Results: Since initiation, QTS has provided an educational entry point for 1428 NCH employees to participate in QI projects and teams. QTS has shown statistically significant improvement in 2 of the 3 principal aims. The Phase 1 Conclusions: QTS can provide QI education to healthcare system employees using limited resources. Organizations that strategically integrate a culture of QI into core beliefs can realize substantial improvement gains.
