Transitioning towards senior medical resident: identification of the required competencies using consensus methodology.
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
backgroundResidency programs are facing significant restructuring through the "Competence by Design" (CBD) framework proposed by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC). Our goal was to establish the competencies to be acquired during the transition to a senior role within Internal Medicine (IM) training.
methodsUsing a modified Delphi technique, practicing IM physicians and recent graduates were polled to develop consensus on the required competencies to effectively transition from junior to senior medical resident. Participants rated each competency on a three-point Likert scale. Each competency was linked to an Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) identified by the RCPSC IM Specialty Committee.
resultsA total of eighteen participants took part in item generation (16% response rate) and nineteen in the initial ranking with seventeen completing all three iterations (89% completion rate). Eighty-three competencies were identified during questionnaire development. A final list of seventy-seven competencies reached consensus after three rounds. Most competencies matched to core of discipline EPAs.
conclusionThis consensus-based list of competencies will help create a framework and tools for the assessment of junior residents as they prepare to transition to the role of senior in the new CBD curricula for IM trainees at our institution.
