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

backgroundProfessionals in the medical field are expected to participate in continuing medical education in the sense of lifelong learning. The authors took this occasion to evaluate the most important national convention in pain medicine concerning its role in medical education. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe participants of the 37th German Pain Congress (17-20 October 2012 in Mannheim) were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning content and design of the convention. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of different physician competencies in the program. For this purpose the congress program was analyzed with respect to the various medical role models as defined in the Canadian medical education directions for specialists (CanMEDS) framework.

resultsThe participants considered the quality of the different sessions of the German Pain Congress to be good. The poster sessions were considered to be the second most important educational format in the congress following the live sessions. Concerning the content of the congress the participants wished more emphasis on the role of interprofessional partners, such as nursing and psychotherapy. The CanMEDS physician roles of manager, communicator, health advisor and professional paragon were underrepresented in the congress program in this study.

conclusionRegarding content and educational value, the congress design could benefit from additional Praktikerseminaren (practical seminars). The role of interprofessional partners should be more emphasized. In addition the program could become more attractive through a more balanced distribution of the CanMEDS roles.
