Learning by doing: effectively incorporating ethics education into residency training.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMedical ethics is a critical component of the curriculum for clinical trainees. Educational initiatives should adapt content to participants' experience in order to ensure relevance and retain their interest.
aimTo develop and evaluate an experiential educational program for physicians.
settingAcademic medical center.
participantsSenior internal medicine residents (n = 40). PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A case-based didactic program was designed in which each resident shared a difficult ethics case from their clinical experience. We created a curriculum around these cases involving formal didactics as well as open-ended discussion and summarized the ethical issues most relevant to the participants. A course survey was administered based upon the validated Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ). PROGRAM EVALUATION: Common issues raised included surrogate decision-making (18 %), refusal of treatment (14 %), capacity/informed consent (10 %), and medical futility (10 %). Mean SEEQ subscale scores for learning value, organization/clarity, group interaction, breadth of coverage, and assignments/readings were 4.5 (maximum possible score 5). Residents unanimously rated the course overall as good/very good, and all agreed or strongly agreed that the course was useful and its structure effective. DISCUSSION: An experiential case-based didactic program in medical ethics engaged adult learners and facilitated a comprehensive and clinically relevant educational initiative.
