Exploring the transition into practice of general paediatricians from a Canadian residency program.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPaediatric training programs are committed to graduating paediatricians able to function independently in professional practice. The focus of this study was to gain understanding of a training program's strengths and deficiencies, while also exploring new methods to aid in transitioning trainees into practice.
methodUsing the CanMEDS framework, semi-structured focus groups were conducted with recently graduated paediatricians. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsThree focus groups were completed, including a total of nine participants. Key themes were identified pertaining to CanMEDS roles. Particular strengths were found in medical expert for managing acute illnesses, communicator for engaging in difficult conversations, and health advocate in responding to diverse patient populations. Relative deficits were recognized in collaborator for connecting patients with community services, leader related to practice development and management, and scholar for cultivating critical appraisal. Opportunities for training program growth included ensuring community exposures were timely and varied, engaging additional community preceptors in training and giving appropriate expectations and mentoring to trainees to develop as scholars.
conclusionsEducators need to be mindful of the exposures that trainees receive in residency. New graduates may also ultimately benefit from mentorship in the community or ongoing contact with their past training program.
