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
introductionThis study examines trends in executive compensation at non-profit hospitals across the United States from 2018 to 2022. The research aims to address gaps in the current literature by providing an up-to-date analysis of compensation practices and their relationship to hospital financial metrics.
methodsA descriptive longitudinal study was conducted using data from Form 990 filings of 20 randomly selected non-profit hospitals across four U.S. regions. Executive compensation data, along with hospital financial metrics, were extracted and analyzed. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests for trend analysis, and correlation studies using Kendall's Tau B.
resultsThe median increase in executive compensation over the five-year period was 23.4%, with a median annual increase of 6.2%. Significant positive correlations were found between executive compensation and hospital revenue (τ = 0.676, p < 0.001), net assets (τ = 0.600, p < 0.001), and net income (τ = 0.273, p < 0.001). However, percentage changes in these variables over time were not significantly correlated.
conclusionThe study reveals significant growth in executive compensation at non-profit hospitals, with notable regional variations. While compensation correlates strongly with hospital financial metrics, the lack of correlation in their respective changes over time suggests a complex relationship. These findings raise important questions about resource allocation and compensation practices in non-profit healthcare institutions, highlighting the need for further research and policy discussions.
