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

backgroundQueensland maternity services are provided by institutions of varying sizes, that are classified according to the Clinical Services Capability Framework. Obesity is more common in more remote areas. We aimed to identify factors associated primary and secondary general anesthesia in Queensland, Australia.

methodsData were obtained from the Anaesthesia Benchmarking System and Mater Health Services between January 2019 and July 2022. The Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia Plus classification was used to describe remoteness and the institutional Clinical Services Capability Framework level documented. Associations of individual characteristics, cesarean characteristics and remoteness category with the outcomes of primary and secondary GA, were explored using chi-square tests and modelled using binary logistic regression.

resultsOf 35,227 cases, 22,780 (64.7%) resided in major cities with a median (IQR) body mass index of 29.0 kg m

conclusionAnesthetists may use these results to anticipate secondary general anesthesia or modify primary techniques. Institutions located in remote areas and with fewer resources cared for more women with obesity, with implications for women and healthcare services.
