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
introductionLittle emphasis on standardization, less stringent outcome measurement and resource constrains can result in deteriorating competencies among medical graduates in a country with rapidly increasing number of medical institutions like India. A competency-based curriculum is where we carefully design curricular experiences to achieve pre-identified outcomes. In this study, we aimed to define the outcome objectives of a competency-based undergraduate Obstetrics and Gynaecology curriculum which is comprehensive, and is based on the present day need of our society. These objectives can serve as the basis for designing a suitable curriculum with aligned teaching learning and assessment methods.
methodsThis is an observational study in which a Delphi technique was used to identify the outcome objectives representing competencies specific to the subject of obstetrics and gynaecology at graduate level. The six core competencies identified by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Council formed the framework to identify these competencies. Then, a cross-sectional countrywide survey was conducted among purposively sampled teachers and clinical experts through a postal questionnaire to know the relative importance of the identified outcome measures and need for their inclusion in a contemporary outcome-based curriculum.
resultNinety four medical teachers and clinical experts, belonging to institutes across the county, with demonstrable interest and expertise in the field of medical education identified 38 outcome objectives for the curriculum. There were twenty one
conclusionThe outcome objectives for a competency-based obstetrics and gynaecology curriculum in an Indian context were defined.
