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

In this paper, a comparative statistical analysis of some performance indicators from the health system at SCJU Craiova and SJU Slatina is made in the period 2010-2021. Also, the correlations between the average duration of hospitalization, the bed utilization rate, the number of cases and the case complexity index for each hospital are studied. It is found that there are similarities, but also statistically significant differences between the two analyzed hospitals. Thus, it turns out that there are no significant differences between the bed utilization rate and the complexity index between the two hospitals, but there are statistically significant differences at a significance threshold of 5% between the average duration of hospitalization and the number of cases registered at the two hospitals analyzed. Moreover, the case complexity index is strongly negatively correlated with the bed utilization rate and with the number of cases in both hospitals, but positively correlated with the average duration of hospitalization at SCJU Craiova and weakly negatively correlated at SJU Slatina.
