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

We examined the impact of a hospital medicine medical procedure service (MPS) on hospital length of stay (LOS), postprocedure LOS, and completion of procedures on weekends. We included 4952 patients admitted to our large academic hospital between July 1, 2021 and July 31, 2023 who underwent thoracentesis, paracentesis, or lumbar puncture (LP). MPS performed 30% (1499) of these procedures. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity score, and procedure type, procedure performance by MPS was associated with a shorter total hospital LOS (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.87-0.99) and postprocedure LOS (IRR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.76-0.88). Also, MPS-performed procedures were twice as likely to occur on weekends compared to non-MPS-performed procedures (odds ratio [OR]: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.75-2.41). These findings support the beneficial impact of MPS on operational efficiency, an important outcome for both patients and hospitals.
