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

backgroundGeneral surgery resident performance on the American Board of Surgery In-Service Training Exam (ABSITE) has been used to predict American Board of Surgery (ABS) passage rates, selection for remediation programs, and ranking of fellowship applicants. We sought to identify electronic resource study habits of general surgery residents associated with successful test scores. STUDY

designA single-institution, retrospective review of general surgery resident use of 2 electronic study resources, Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) and TrueLearn (TL), were evaluated for the 7 months before the 2019 ABSITE. Metrics included TL question performance, SCORE use, and a survey about other reading sources. These metrics were evaluated in 3 ABSITE percentile groupings: ≥80

resultsThe ≥80

conclusionsOur nomogram incorporates time spent accessing an electronic content-based resource, SCORE, and performance on an electronic question-based resource as a novel method to provide individualized feedback and predict future ABSITE performance.
