Efficacy of Different Triage Protocols in Reducing Waiting Times in Emergency Settings: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Prolonged waiting times in emergency departments (EDs) can result in adverse outcomes for patients. Implementing efficient triage protocols is critical in reducing these delays. This study evaluates the efficacy of different triage protocols in decreasing waiting times in emergency settings. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to compare three triage protocols (Manchester Triage System, Nurse-Initiated Triage, and Digital Triage Systems). The primary outcome was the reduction in waiting times. Secondary outcomes included patient throughput and satisfaction. Results: A statistically significant reduction in waiting times was observed in the Nurse-Initiated Triage group compared to the Manchester Triage system ( Conclusion: Nurse-Initiated Triage protocols can effectively reduce waiting times in ED settings. Digital Triage Systems while improving efficiency may need to address patient satisfaction concerns.
