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

objectivesTo obtain an overview of the attitudes toward interdisciplinary further education of residents and consultants in radiology and nuclear medicine and preferences regarding a future joint training curriculum in Switzerland.

methodsA 34-item questionnaire was sent electronically (SurveyMonkey online survey tool) to 1244 radiologists and nuclear physicians (residents and consultants) in Switzerland. The items asked about the motivation for further education in each other's specialty and preferences regarding a joint further education curriculum in radiology and nuclear medicine.

resultsOverall, 370 questionnaires were analyzed (370/1244, 30%). There were 280 (76%) board-certified physicians in either radiology (238/370, 64%) or nuclear medicine (42/370, 12%) and 65 (18%) residents (radiology 54/370, 15%; nuclear medicine 11/370, 3%). More than half of all residents (34/65, 52%) stated their conviction that a wide range of expertise in both disciplines could be fully guaranteed through adequate cross-curricular training. For responders already at a consultant level in radiology or nuclear medicine, the willingness to undergo further training in each other's specialty significantly increased with a shorter training period. The preferred option for a possible future joint training curriculum was a combination of a 5-year radiology training program with 2 years of further training in nuclear medicine.

conclusionsBoth residents and board-certified physicians in Switzerland are highly interested in a cross-curricular training curriculum in radiology and nuclear medicine. KEY POINTS: • A systematic survey was conducted to obtain information on interest in cross-curricular training in radiology and nuclear medicine and preferences regarding a future joint training curriculum. • More than half of radiology and nuclear medicine residents would be interested in further training in the other specialty. • There is a strong desire for a shorter training program when combining training in both radiology and nuclear medicine.
