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

There is a widespread perception that trainees in medicine in the UK are 'not as good as they used to be' and reduction in hours of training is often cited as one cause. However, there are no data on the current experience of medical trainees in general medicine. The experience of foundation year doctors (FY1/2) and core medical trainees (CTs) in the management of 10 common medical conditions, eight common medical procedures and other aspects of medical training were collected by national survey in 2011. Trainees reported finding out-of-hours care the best setting for acute general medical experience and that the medical registrar was a key part of training. There was a significant lack of experience in both the management of medical conditions and the use of common procedures. These results highlight the challenges in general medical training and show that there is substantial room for improvement.
