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

Increasingly, more universities are showing an interest in offering combined degrees (most commonly research-based) with their medical degree. Intercalated degrees often require the medical student to take time off their medical course in order to pursue the second degree full-time. Concurrent degrees, on the other hand, do not usually require taking additional time to complete; rather, they are integrated into the medical curriculum. Exposing medical students to the array of opportunities offered by their academic institutions will hopefully allow interested students to pursue studies in an area of their preference, at a pace of their own and for a cost (time and financial) they could afford. This article explores the different degrees offered around the world to students in combination with medical degrees.
