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

backgroundA critical incident is described as any unplanned event which causes, or has the potential to cause, injury to a patient. Critical incident debriefing is a team discussion to gather facts and analyse the experience, evaluate lessons learned and provide staff with support. However, this phase is often neglected.

methodsThis UK-based explorative qualitative study aims to explore perioperative practitioners' experiences of critical incident debriefing. Data were collected from six participants through audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis framework.

resultsFive themes emerged detailing the advantages of critical incident debriefing, including addressing staff's personal needs and learning lessons from incidents, and the disadvantages such as time constraints and unsupportive/uninformative debriefs leading to poor-quality debriefs.

conclusionsImplementation of a short debrief immediately post-incident to address immediate concerns, a later in-depth debrief and additional training for facilitators were recommended to improve debrief quality.
