Perceptions on Competence by Design in urology.
Article in Canadian Urological Association journal = Journal de l'Association des urologues du Canada, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada has begun implementing Competence by Design (CBD). However, it is unclear how much urology trainees and faculty know about CBD, their attitudes towards this change, and their willingness to embrace and participate in this new model of training.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted through an online survey, which was administered to all trainees and faculty at Canadian urology programs prior to the implementation of CBD. The final survey consisted of eight demographic questions, 17 five-point Likert items, one visual analog scale question, 11 multiple selection questions, and two open-ended questions.
resultsA total of 74 participants (38 faculty and 36 trainees) across 12 universities responded, with a completion rate of 82.4%. This corresponded to an overall response rate of 20.5%. Overall, there was a lack of resounding enthusiasm towards this shift to CBD in urology. Although both trainees and faculty had overall positive perceptions of CBD on assessment, teaching, and readiness, most agreed that this transition will be costly and associated with increased requirements for time, funding, and administrative support. Furthermore, there were significant concerns regarding the lack of valid assessment tools and evidence for the validity of entrustable professional activities.
conclusionsWhile this survey has demonstrated an appreciation for the benefits of CBD, challenges are equally anticipated. CBD in urology will be a fertile research area; this study has identified several important educational questions regarding the model's effectiveness and consequences, thus, providing collaborative opportunities among all Canadian programs.
