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

This paper studies the effectiveness of different educational programmes. A number of cohorts of junior doctors received one of two different induction training packages. These programmes differed principally in the length of time over which they were administered. The junior doctors were then assessed using a structured questionnaire. There was a noticeable difference in the factual recall between the cohorts depending on what programme they had attended. Those attending the programme delivered over an extended period showed better performance on assessment. The interpretations and implications of these findings are discussed.
