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

The Physician Specialty Recruitment Office of the Royal College of Physicians has overseen recruitment into core medical training since 2009. This has allowed trends in recruitment numbers and the experience of applicants to be followed. Current recruitment into core training is not providing a large enough pool of trainees to sustain adequate filling of higher medical specialty training posts and therefore ultimately bridge the consultant vacancy rates in the UK.
