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

Within rheumatology specialty training, direct observation and formal assessment of consultation skills rarely occur. This study explored the attitudes and perceptions of rheumatology specialist registrars (SpRs) and consultants regarding consultation skills training and potential barriers to its successful implementation in the context of specialist training. Semi-structured interviews with rheumatology consultants and focus groups with rheumatology SpRs were conducted in four UK deanery regions. All participants value consultation skills training and believe it requires observation of trainees consulting. The skills of consultant trainers in providing feedback on consulting skills are sometimes sub-optimal. Direct, real time observation of trainees is difficult and happens infrequently. Recording consultations is a potentially attractive alternative. Important issues regarding the successful implementation of videotaped consultations include time constraints, consistency in the assessment of consultation skills, and expertise in providing constructive feedback that is individualised and tailored to the trainee's learning needs.
