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

Emergency department (ED) triage is the cornerstone of ED operations. Many different triage systems have been proposed and implemented globally. To date, an ideal triage system has not yet been identified. As the burden on EDs rises, with overcrowding being recognized as a universal problem, ED triage needs to be restructured to address this reality. Extensive and critical literature research over the years has identified the strengths and weaknesses of current ED triage implementations. A novel multi-layer triage system was introduced and implemented in Greek Eds, combining the strengths of various triage and early warning systems and scores to minimize under-triage and the adverse downstream effects it creates on patient outcomes. Acknowledging that no triage system can be universally adapted in different settings, the structural concepts of this triage system address most of the triage problems currently reported in the literature.
