Day of the Week Variation in Emergency Department Arrivals, Chest Pain, and Acute Myocardial Infarction Throughout 2016-2019.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Overcrowding in the Emergency department (ED) necessitates a major challenge in delivering high-quality care in acute settings. This study presents a novel approach to modeling the relationship between the day of the week, ED arrivals, chest pain (CP), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using regression analysis. We analyzed data from 2016 to 2019 across three platforms: a nationwide representative sample (NHAMCS), a federated data network (TriNetX), and a regional medical center. For the stated three outcomes, the number of patients in that category on each day of the week was calculated; these were then calculated separately for each year, as well as across all four years. In line with prior studies, this study demonstrates the highest percentage of ED arrival on Mondays and the lowest on the weekends. Similarly, chest pain was more prevalent on Mondays, with similar patterns for TriNetX and the regional medical center. Analyzing NHAMCS data demonstrated Wednesdays as the busiest day for AMI-related ED arrivals, although this observation was not statistically significant. This knowledge will better aid us in resource allocation and system awareness, paving a path toward better patient care, improving disease management, and reducing healthcare costs.
