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

Perfusionists must maintain strong digital security habits, know the inherent risks of devices in use, and have a healthy respect for the consequences of a security breach at a hospital. While perfusion has largely been able to operate without much interaction with cybersecurity experts, the relentless advancement of the digital age means that perfusionists cannot remain oblivious to the intersection of their devices and hospital digital security. This article provides a historical overview of healthcare cybersecurity with specific recommendations for perfusion teams looking to ensure best practices for protected health information (PHI). Critical recommendations include keeping physical copies of downtime procedures, routine practice of downtime procedures, discussion with the hospital information technology (IT) team to confirm perfusion-based asset lists, and the creation of an American Society of Extracorporeal Technology (AmSECT) standard or guideline regarding attention to cybersecurity.
