The association between the workload of emergency physicians and the outcomes of acute myocardial infarction: a population-based study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. 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
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the second leading cause of mortality in Taiwan. The correlation between the workload of emergency physicians and the outcome of AMI remains unknown. To determine the effects of the workload of emergency physicians on the outcomes of AMI. We included 17 661 patients (age > 18 years) with STEMI undergoing PCI, who visited the emergency department between 2012 and 2018. We used the logistic regression model with generalized estimating equations (GEEs) to analyze the risk of death within 30 days after emergency department visit, the risk of emergency department revisits within 3 days, and the risk of readmission within 14 days in all subgroups. After covariate adjustment, the risk of mortality within 30 days after visiting the emergency department was significantly higher in the subgroup whose visiting emergency physicians had the highest workload (odds ratio [OR]: 1.39; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12 to 1.72). Furthermore, the risk of revisiting the emergency department within 3 days after discharge from the hospital was significantly higher in the subgroup whose visiting emergency physicians' workload was within the second and third quartiles (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.18 to 2.89). The workload of emergency physicians appears to be positively correlated with the mortality risk of patients with STEMI undergoing PCI.
