Novel Approaches To Undergraduate Oncology Education.
Review in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
With the increasing incidence of cancer and related survival, junior doctors are more commonly involved the management of oncology patients. A comprehensive oncology curriculum has been developed and adopted across medi-cal schools in Australia. However, it was not designed to inform how medical students should be taught, and whether curriculum content translates to knowledge and competency can depend on its implementation. We have conducted a literature review of PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases to identify and summarise the evidence for novel approaches to delivering the undergraduate oncology curriculum. Numerous effective approaches have been developed across areas of prevention, clinical examination through simulation, the multidisciplinary team, psycho-oncology, palliative care and even research. There is growing focus on a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to cancer education although direct clinical exposure and interactions with cancer patients is still crucial. Medical schools may also have an under-recognised role in promoting positive health behaviour if their graduates are to convey these preventative measures to their patients. Application of such methods relies upon clinicians and medical educators to consider the practicability and relevance of specific implementation in their local context.
