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

No standard work assignment exists for practicing neonatologists in the United States. Unlike other types of care providers in the neonatal intensive care unit who work under standard shift or work hour expectations, attending neonatologist staffing models vary significantly by job task, shift length, in-person or remote coverage responsibility, ambulatory or inpatient practice, and total clinical versus non-clinical commitments among other variables. Due to the diversity of clinical and non-clinical responsibilities of practicing neonatologists, transparent and equitable staffing models can be challenging to design and execute. We present a flexible approach to neonatologist scheduling that has been implemented effectively at two academic medical centers with multiple sites and types of neonatology clinical practice. This model allows for clear delineation of time dedicated to a variety of clinical and non-clinical activities to allow both clinical and administrative leadership clarity on the full range of professional responsibilities of a practicing neonatologist.
