Using an Entrustable Professional Activity to Assess Consultation Requests Called on an Internal Medicine Teaching Service.
Review in MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's milestones require internal medicine residents to have competency in calling consults. Based on a literature review, we developed an Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) to delineate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for a consultation request and, building on the EPA, implemented an assessment instrument to provide feedback to interns calling consultation requests and assess the quality of their consult questions and the level of supervision required in performing this milestone. Methods: Assessments were done on internal medicine inpatient teaching services. Consultation requests were performed by interns and observed by residents using the assessment instrument. Feedback was provided to the interns. Interns then completed a self-reflection instrument based on the feedback. Results: Twenty-six paired observations were collected over three 1-month rotations. There was a moderate positive correlation ( Discussion: Our EPA-based assessment instrument provided an opportunity to give interns feedback and to assess the quality of the consultation requests they made.
