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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe work environment for rheumatologists has significantly changed over the last years. The healthcare of patients with rheumatic diseases is at risk due to the age structure of specialized rheumatologists in middle Germany and the limited availability of training positions for rheumatologists. In this context, it is important to have detailed information on the resident physicians in rheumatology concerning their own visions regarding their future professional career. MATERIAL AND

methodsA questionnaire was sent to resident physicians in 25 rheumatology training hospitals in the middle of Germany (Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia). The questionnaire was completed and returned by 27 participants (17 women and 10 men).

resultsMost of the participants (60%) aimed to qualify as a specialist in internal medicine followed by a specialization in rheumatology (altogether training for a minimum of 8 years). After finishing training 44% would prefer to work in an outpatient setting while 30% planned to work in a combined outpatient and clinical setting. Of the participants 48% would prefer to work as part-time rheumatologists and 74% (women 94% and men 40%) were interested in employment in an outpatient medical healthcare center. The compatibility of family and work as well as the work-life balance was considered to be highly relevant for the future professional life.

conclusionLess than half of the participants intended to work exclusively in an outpatient setting after completing the training in rheumatology. In addition, the participants preferred a part-time employment with compatibility of professional and private life. Consequently, alternative models of employment should be created in rheumatology to be attractive for future physicians. On the other hand, the study revealed that the independent rheumatological practice has a lower priority for the young rheumatologists taking part in this survey.
