Emergency department boarding time and in-hospital mortality: A prospective observational study.
Article in Turkish journal of emergency medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectivesWe aimed to study the association between prolonged boarding time in the emergency department (ED) and in-hospital mortality among patients triaged red at presentation.
methodsIt was a single-center prospective observational study conducted among 300 patients who presented to the ED of a tertiary care teaching institute in North India. The boarding time was calculated as the time interval between the time at which the patient was advised admission and the time at which the patient was admitted to the indoor bed. Risk stratification of patients was done based on National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) at presentation. The patient was then followed up for the duration of their in-hospital course, till discharge or death.
resultsThe mean boarding time was higher in patients who died, as compared to those who were alive, but the difference was not found to be statistically significant (14.13 h vs. 11.89 h,
conclusionProlonged ED boarding times may be weakly associated with in-hospital mortality. Patients with an increased NEWS2 score at presentation and those requiring HDU/ICU admissions were at higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
