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

Medical training is a complex endeavour and analysing its quality is not a simple task. The accuracy of information, particularly of data gathered from trainees, will depend greatly on its source, on perceptions relating to confidentiality and on the uses to which the data are put. These factors should guide our choice of feedback instrument. In addition, in times of 'survey fatigue', we have a duty to be efficient. This paper discusses the piloting of the 'feedback on performance for trainers' tool for clinical supervisors of geriatric medicine trainees in the North Western Deanery. This tool is a multi-source feedback instrument that can be used to gather information specifically on the perceived quality of clinical supervision. The tool's design takes into account opinions relating to confidentiality and content validity that have been expressed by trainees, trainers, educationalists and administrators. The tool is relatively easy and quick to use, taking about 10 min of trainee or trainer time. Administrative support is needed but the workload should not be onerous, especially if an on-line process can be developed. Strong evidence to support the validity of this instrument has been collected. The next step is the development and evaluation of the approach as an online process.
