Identifying What's Vital in Shift Handover: The ABC-VITAL Model for ED Transitions.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Shift handover in EDs is a critical event that directly impacts patient safety, care continuity, and staff well-being. This technical report introduces the ABC-VITAL model of shift handover, structured around three essential components: Assistance, Balance, and Closure. The model was developed from the convergence of healthcare management, emergency medicine, and academic leadership and is designed to be adaptable across different levels of complexity and clinical profiles. The Assistance component is based on the ID-VITAL framework, which supports structured, decision-oriented clinical communication. The Balance component addresses the emotional and interpersonal aspects of handover, promoting team cohesion and a psychologically safe work environment. The Closure component promotes operational anticipation and team synchronization to guide the incoming team's operational planning. This model reframes the shift handover as a clinical, human, and strategic process, with the potential to influence organizational culture in emergency care settings.
