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.
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
backgroundThe joint recommendations of the German Societies of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Surgery and Internal Medicine on preoperative evaluation of adult patients prior to elective, non-cardiac surgery published in November 2010 were the first practical and comprehensive guidelines for preoperative evaluation available to anesthetists in Germany.
aimThis study was carried out to analyze the state of implementation of these guidelines into clinical practice as well as changes in strategies for assessing perioperative risk from the viewpoint of anesthesia personnel in Germany. MATERIAL AND
methodsA 25-item questionnaire concerning general characteristics of workplaces, cognizance, reasonability and convenience of the joint recommendations was developed as an online survey. Furthermore, changes in strategies for preoperative evaluation were polled.
resultsA total of 1,840 anesthetists completed the questionnaire. The results showed that 84.2 % were acquainted with the joint recommendations, 57.3 % evaluated them as completely reasonable and 18.2 % as partly reasonable. A total of 71.4 % indicated that the joint recommendations were implemented completely or partly in their department strategies for preoperative evaluation. From the viewpoint of personnel, anamnesis and physical examination were performed more frequently by 25.7 % while routine diagnostic testing was ordered less frequently by 39.1 %. Advantages by implementing the joint recommendations (e.g. simplification for medical staff and patients, decrease of costs, reduction of radiological examinations) were seen by 45.5 %. Problems, such as increasing expenditure of time and personnel due to implementation were mentioned by 20.3 %.
conclusionThe joint recommendations are well known and positively rated among anesthetists in Germany responding to the questionnaire reflecting an effective implementation process over the last 2 years. The anesthetists who completed the questionnaire stated that the use of the recommendations leads to a more reasonable approach in preoperative risk evaluation which contributes to an increase in patient safety and satisfaction.
