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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesSurgeon-team familiarity is a critical factor that affects surgical outcomes. The relationships between familiarity and surgical outcomes are varied, and an operational definition of this measure remains underdeveloped. This study creates an effective time-based measure of surgeon-team familiarity and assesses its association with clinical and operational outcomes for neurosurgery.

methodsRetrospective analysis of 9049 neurosurgery cases performed at 2 campuses of a tertiary academic medical center over a 3-year timeframe was conducted. This study measures normalized case duration as a proxy for operational performance and 30-day postoperative complications for clinical outcomes. Multivariate linear regression and logistic regression were used to analyze relationships between surgeon-team familiarity and surgical outcomes, with risk factors as control variables for case mix.

resultsFor normalized case duration, the coefficient of surgeon-team familiarity is negative (β = -0.015,

conclusionThis study found that surgeon-team familiarity is positively associated with neurosurgery outcomes. Teams familiar with the surgeons will likely improve operational performance and reduce the risk of postoperative complications, whereas too much familiarity may lengthen the case duration. Surgical practice leaders can use electronic health record data to define appropriate familiarity scores and incorporate key metrics when developing surgical team assignments for optimal operating room performance.
