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

Surgical disease is one of the most costly and morbid areas of health care and, perhaps, the most amenable to improvement through well-designed and well-implemented tools. Preventable adverse events have been successfully targeted by tools such as the Surgical Safety Checklist. However, health system priorities related to surgery have evolved; the concepts of what constitutes quality care have changed over time. How efficiency and access contribute to safe care, where equity exists as a key outcome measure, and the central role of the patient in defining good care have changed the way we look at surgical priorities. This review of Canadian surgical priorities provides a unique perspective on how we should consider national strategies for surgical safety by exploring both nationally published data as well as the priorities set by provincial and governmental agencies that extend beyond traditional clinical metrics.
