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

This editorial discusses the recent study conducted by Macias et al., revealing that anesthesiologists' case volume history has only a marginal impact on improving operating room efficiency, resulting in minimal clinical significance. The idea that a specific anesthesia team or type of anesthesia could enhance productivity has been previously investigated, yielding similar conclusions. Although the study primarily focuses on the time from patient arrival to the completion of anesthesia induction, excluding the latter part of anesthesia-controlled time, Macias et al. have made a valuable contribution by challenging the prevalent notion that less experienced anesthesiologists adversely affect operating room efficiency.
