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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the methods by which neurology physician-scientists are quantified through applying author-level metrics to commonly used definitions when discussing funding efforts aimed at the attrition of the physician-scientist workforce.

methodsNeurology residency alumni from institutions with the highest National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke funding were identified for 2003-2005, and their funding records, publishing history, and impact factor (

resultsFrom 15 programs, and from a total of 252 neurologists, 186 were identified as having demonstrated an interest in research. The mean
