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

introductionThe execution of composed educational programs for general practitioners is one of the most common methods of continuing medical education. This research project aims to evaluate one of these programs.

methodsFor this purpose, a pre- and post-test design was developed. The subjects consisted of 45 participants. They were tested in two stages: before and after the program. A questionnaire was also used to gather the participants' views on four variables including teachers' behavior, the degree of achieving the objective of the program, objective of the learner, and satisfaction with the program.

resultsBased on the results of this study, the mean scores of the participants' knowledge increased from 10.05 (pre test) to 12.61 (post test), (p<0.0001). In addition, the results showed that the teachers' behavior and satisfaction with the program were rated by participants as the highest and least, respectively.

conclusionThe results of this research are indicative of the effectiveness of the composed educational program in continuing medical education. Nevertheless, such programs are recommended to be further evaluated with more rigorous design.
