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

Abstract:

objectiveDeveloping technology may assist paramedics in the competing tasks of providing life-saving care and accurately documenting that care. The objective of this study was to identify and classify paramedic user requirements for speech recognition (SR)-aided documentation. Abstract:

methodsThis was a two-phase, mixed-methods study. Phase 1 involved a web-based questionnaire distributed to paramedics across Canada. Phase 2 consisted of opt-in one-on-one interviews to gain further insight into the survey results. Descriptive and associative statistics were used to identify which features respondents deemed most important, which were classified into five categories based on questionnaire results. Thematic content analysis of the qualitative data was used to understand the quantitative rankings. Abstract:

resultsA total of 323 respondents completed the questionnaire. Overall, 86% of respondents ( Abstract:

conclusionThese prioritized features highlight the unique practice context of paramedicine. While this was a Canadian study, the results may be applicable to other similar paramedicine practice systems. This work provides a robust list and classification of SR user requirements for Canadian paramedics.
