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

OBJECTIVE(S): To evaluate the consult and emergency care experience of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) trainees with a hospitalist faculty model.

methodsAn anonymous survey was distributed to OHNS residents across institutions with hospitalist models. Each respondent reported trainee and institutional details and completed a 12-item five-point Likert-scale questionnaire rating resident experiences working with (1) faculty hospitalist and (2) rotating on-call coverage models across three domains: educational features, workflow efficiency, and global experience. Subgroup analyses were conducted stratifying by training level (junior vs. senior) and degree of hospitalist experience (≥ 60% vs. < 60%).

resultsAmong 50 respondents (response rate 39.7%), the hospitalist model demonstrated superior performance across all domains. More respondents reported favorable education-to-service ratios with hospitalist supervision (58.0%) versus rotating coverage (14.0%, p < 0.001). The hospitalist model had higher ratings for quality of clinical instruction (mean difference = 0.58, p < 0.001), surgical instruction (0.37, p = 0.035), and managing emergencies (0.45, p < 0.001). Notably, 64.0% of residents reported rarely or never feeling rushed in the OR with hospitalist supervision, compared to 36.0% with rotating coverage (p < 0.001). Workflow advantages of the hospitalist model included improved procedural timeliness (p = 0.022), handoff efficiency (p = 0.002), and treatment plan clarity (p < 0.001). Training level did not significantly modulate responses. Residents with more hospitalist experience (≥ 60%) reported significantly greater advantages in clinical instruction (p = 0.026) and surgical teaching (p = 0.008) compared to those with less experience.

conclusionThe hospitalist model provides educational advantages and operational efficiency. These findings support the curricular and systemic value of a hospitalist role in enhancing overall satisfaction and potentially mitigating trainee burnout. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: N/A.
