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

purposeDespite the increasing importance placed on advanced training for clinical pharmacists, literature describing postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) residency opportunities is limited. The objective of this study was to describe characteristics of PGY2 programs within the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system.

methodsAn online survey addressing attributes of PGY2 residency programs was electronically distributed to VA residency program directors (RPDs).

resultsResponses from 27 (32.9%) VA PGY2 residency programs were included, representing 11 distinct PGY2 specialties. Growth and recruitment trends were similar across programs, with most programs projecting additional expansion. Staffing requirements were uncommon, but opportunities to precept and earn teaching certificates were prevalent. RPDs had been licensed pharmacists an average of 16.9 years, and most had at least 1 advanced certification. The majority of programs had a formal residency advisory committee and required preceptors to attend regular development meetings.

conclusionAlthough multiple postgraduate specialties were represented, the requirements and opportunities available for PGY2 pharmacy residents were similar across VA facilities. By comparing residency programs in a nationally integrated health-care system, this study may promote growth of existing PGY2 programs, facilitate the establishment of new programs, and provide a framework for prospective residents to evaluate programs of interest.
