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

Introduction: Physicians recognize the importance of clinical documentation for accuracy of coding and billing, but it is emphasized little in residency curricula, with an even smaller emphasis on oncology-specific documentation. We developed an educational curriculum to teach residents about clinical documentation for cancer patients. Our tool kit includes didactics, simulated history and physical (H&P) documentation, and personal feedback. Methods: A preintervention survey was first administered to gauge baseline knowledge. A simulated H&P was developed that required participants to complete their own assessment and plan. We delivered a 25-minute lecture regarding billing and coding along with documentation tips and tricks specific to hematology/oncology. Thereafter, we handed out a second H&P, and participants had to once again complete their own assessment and plan. These H&Ps were graded by three reviewers using a rubric. We then gave residents personalized feedback using the above data and administered a postintervention survey. Results: The postintervention survey revealed that 100% of the residents surveyed found this activity helpful, 83% noted that further knowledge of diagnosis codes was helpful to their learning, 100% noted that that this activity taught them to improve documentation, 91% said they were more likely to use cancer-specific diagnoses, and 91% said they would benefit from direct feedback-based education. Discussion: Didactic and formal education is more effective when combined with hands-on examples and direct personalized feedback.
