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

objectiveTo compare the pre- and post-implementation periods of a program to manage access to cardiac surgery for users of the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) in terms of surgical waiting time.

methodsThis is an observational and retrospective study, which analyzed three years before and four years after the implementation of this program. Variables such as length of hospital stay, waiting time in the surgical queue and infection rate of users who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery in the SUS were evaluated.

resultsThere was a significant reduction in waiting times in the queue of 97.50 days in the pre-intervention period (95% confidence interval - 95%CI 79.00; 120.30) and 52.50 days (95%CI 44.40; 63.20) in the post-intervention period. There was a trend towards a reduction in the average hospital stay and an increase in the number of surgeries performed.

conclusionThe implementation of the management program reduced the waiting time for cardiac surgery in the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System).
