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

The impact of emergency care systems on a country's health infrastructure is well-recognized in most high-income countries. On the contrary, most Sub-Saharan African countries lack a well-organized basic emergency care system that is capable of delivering essential emergency care functions. In 2010, Tanzania launched the first-ever public emergency medicine department at the Muhimbili National Hospital and a residency training program in emergency medicine at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences as an initial step in developing the country's emergency care system. We conducted a comprehensive review of the growth of emergency care to document the ongoing challenges and discuss lessons learned 15 years after the establishment of the Emergency Department and residency training. These insights are intended to inform other Sub-Saharan countries as they develop their emergency care systems.
