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

backgroundThe German National Surgical Trial Network (CHIR-Net) which has been funded since 2006 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, funding code 01GH1001A-01GH1001F, 01GH0702) is made up of eight regional surgical centers. The aim of the CHIR-Net is the design, implementation and publication of prospective, randomized, multicenter trials to support evidence-based medicine in surgery. Two main pillars of the CHIR-Net are the surgeon on rotation program and the flying study nurse program. With these two programs the surgical hospitals are supported in their trial working by educating competent investigators and the infrastructural support of flexible and mobile study nurses.

methodsThe surgeon on rotation program and the concept of the flying study nurse are presented descriptively. Furthermore, this paper provides reports of experiences of a surgeon on rotation and a flying study nurse of the CHIR-Net. Additionally, the results of an on-line evaluation of the regional surgical hospitals (belonging to the regional surgical center of the universities Witten/Herdecke and Cologne) regarding the needs and requirements of the regional surgical hospitals are presented.

resultsThe surgeon on rotation program of the CHIR-Net offers investigators the possibility to acquire the basics of designing, developing and implementation of high quality clinical trials. In addition, their own study projects could be intensively driven forward. The flying study nurse program enables in particular non-university surgical hospitals to be supported competitively in performing their own study projects and participating in muliticenter clinical trials. The success of these two programs has been confirmed by the conducted evaluations and the presented field reports.

conclusionThe CHIR-Net is able to develop a high quality study culture in Germany with its surgeon on rotation and flying study nurse program. In addition to the funding period by the BMBF, the continuance of the CHIR-Net should be a primary aim of further measures.
