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

introductionConceptualizations of surge capacity are gaining traction in disaster preparedness and response, particularly in the context of critical and acute care during the pandemic as well as other disaster contexts. In most applications, the surge capacity domains describe the four types of assets required to ensure that surges in demand are addressed. Despite increasing interest and conceptual application, these constructs are yet to be considered or explored in relation to the profound resource scarcity and complex contexts of humanitarian health responses.

objectivesThe aim of this research is to explore surge capacity domain constructs in the novel context of scarce health resource allocation in humanitarian health care response settings.

methodsThis research was conducted according to an exploratory qualitative design. Clinicians and managers with relevant experiences were purposively recruited to include broad perspectives across humanitarian responses and clinical specialties. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a latent deductive pattern approach, using a deductive code book consisting of existing surge capacity domains to explore surge capacity constructs. Analysis of coded data for cross-cutting themes drove identification of new findings regarding surge capacity in the context of humanitarian health responses.

resultsSeventeen participants completed semi-structured interviews. In addition to demonstrating the relevance of existing surge capacity domains (staff, stuff, space, and systems; 4Ss), four new themes emerged: (1) sponsorship; (2) suitability; (3) security; and (4) supply. These four themes informed the conceptualization of surge capacity dimensions which must be satisfied for an asset to render a positive impact with relevance to all four surge capacity domains (4S

conclusionsAlthough existing surge capacity domains have proven relevant to humanitarian health care response settings, this research produced a revised conceptualization of surge capacity constructs specific to this context. The identification of four surge capacity dimensions supported the conception and development of the Scarce Health Resource Allocation in Humanitarian Response Settings (SHARE-HRS) 4S
