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

objectiveClinical Informatics is a large part of the current surgical practice, yet, there is no formal curriculum to teach residents about informatics. The purpose of this article is to describe the field of clinical informatics, describe the potential of informatics to improve surgical care, and propose a framework to train surgical informaticians.

designThis is a perspective summarizing the role of clinical informatics in current surgical training.

conclusionsThe manuscript concisely discusses the potential impact of novel technologies and information systems on surgical care delivery. We demonstrate the importance of informatics training for surgeons and describe the relatively new fellowship program as well as the various pathways to obtain board certification in clinical informatics.
