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

High reliability organizations in healthcare are responsible for consistently maintaining high levels of safety and quality over extended periods of time and across multiples service lines and settings. In order to accomplish this, transparent and bi-directional communication across service lines and teams with organizational leaders is essential. Leader rounding for high reliability helps to ensure effective communication takes place. Developing and implementing an evidence-based process for leader rounding for high reliability is important as is determining effectiveness over time. We describe an initiative for assessing effectiveness after an evidence-based process for leader rounding for high reliability was created and implemented for the Veterans Affairs Bedford Healthcare System.
