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

Patients and caregivers with a language for care other than English (LOE) are at risk for inequitable care in the pediatric emergency department (ED). Professional interpretation (PI) improves outcomes, but there can be complexity in determining optimal language for care and interpretation need. Our goal was to learn more about the perspectives from caregivers who speak different languages regarding interpretation with a survey near ED discharge. Caregivers of patients with LOE, identified during ED check-in, were approached by research staff using PI near ED discharge. A survey was completed via interpreter or bilingual research staff prior to discharge or by phone within 48 h. Answers were entered into REDCap and analyzed descriptively. A total of 154 participants were approached; 49 completed a survey between April and November 2021. A variety of languages were spoken in the sample (
