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

backgroundOrthopaedic higher surgical trainees in Ireland are allocated to one of eight training rotations. Each trainee is expected to publish at least one research paper per year during training.

aimTo assess the research productivity of each training rotation over a 10-year period.

methodsA PubMed search was performed for each orthopaedic unit affiliated to higher surgical training (HST) in order to identify full-text research papers published between 2001 and 2010. The results were analysed to determine which training rotations are most productive in terms of research.

resultsWe identified 267 papers published from 16 units over the 10-year period. There were substantial differences in the number of papers published from each unit, and substantial differences between the eight set trainee rotations.

conclusionsIt is essential that each trainee makes an honest assessment of their potential for conducting and producing valuable and relevant research, and chooses an HST rotation that is appropriate to their needs. Publication of research articles is easier to achieve on some HST rotations than on others.
