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

backgroundGastroenterology training in Canada is guided by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Resident perspectives on training and the degree of heterogeneity across training programs have not been previously surveyed.

aimThis study aims to evaluate the current Canadian adult gastroenterology training experience from a resident perspective and provide insight into the heterogeneity among training programs.

methodA survey designed by three current gastroenterology residents was distributed to trainees attending the Gastroenterology Residents-in-Training course at Canadian Digestive Diseases Week 2018. Categorical data from the survey was analyzed in table format. Other continuous data was converted to dichotomous data and analyzed in groups of small and large programs, the large program defined as greater than six trainees.

resultsThe overall response rate was 45 of 56 (80%), representing 13 of 14 accredited training sites. Mandatory rotations and core procedures varied widely across respondents, with only inpatient training consistent across all sites. Small programs had a higher call burden (

conclusionsThere is heterogeneity across programs in mandatory rotations and core procedures. With the upcoming shift to competency-based medical education, it is an opportune time to re-evaluate and perhaps standardize how gastroenterology training is delivered in Canada.
