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

Even in the ideal case of well-coordinated cooperation between anesthesiological and surgical as well as interventional colleagues, a departmental control unit is required to undertake the management of the central surgical unit. Conflict management and the communication of decisions represent only one part of the range of tasks of operating room (OR) management. In contrast, strategic planning, control of higher level patient flows within the entire hospital, capacity and personnel planning and the increasingly important quality management are the core competencies of a good OR manager. Where in the past the routine problems of the planning surgeon had to be fought out between professions and between hierarchies and always solved in a new way, nowadays there should be an OR statute, which ideally must be transparently implemented and openly communicated by the OR management.
