Smoking cessation counselling training in the pre-clerkship curriculum of Canadian medical schools: A national survey.
Article in Canadian medical education journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCigarette use is Canada's leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death. The Medical Council of Canada requires that physicians be able to address tobacco-use, however smoking cessation counselling (SCC) training remains largely neglected in the pre-clerkship curricula of many Canadian medical schools.
methodsBetween July and October of 2015, Canada's 17 medical schools were invited to participate in an administrative survey:
resultsEleven of 17 medical schools completed the administrative survey. The results demonstrated substantial deficits and inconsistencies in the delivery of SCC training in the pre-clerkship curricula of Canada's medical schools. The short survey revealed perceived discomfort regarding smoking cessation discussion, consistent with the potential curriculum deficits suggested in the larger national survey.
conclusionThe results of both surveys suggest an unfortunate oversight given the devastating impact of tobacco-related diseases. Institutional commitment and enhanced inter-university collaboration could facilitate the development of a national undergraduate medical education program to enhance the delivery of SCC training within the pre-clerkship curricula of Canadian medical schools.
