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
backgroundSurgical disciplines are fighting with a critical and escalating shortage of recruits. Potential young professionals belong to the Generation Y, a generation that is constantly challenging senior consultants and human resources departments. The aim of this study was the analysis of various measures of personnel acquisition with respect to motivating factors of young medical students. MATERIAL AND
methodsA survey was carried out among students of the first and ninth semesters of a medical faculty on individual motivating factors, aspiration for medical specialist training and professional experience gained in surgery.
resultsResults from 179 out of 269 medical students were available for analysis (66.5% response rate). The interest in a specialist training in surgery was high in the first semester of medical school (21%) but dropped noticeably up to the ninth semester (13%, p = 0.23). Medical students in the ninth semester, who favored professional advancement and appreciation over flexible working hours showed a significantly higher interest in a specialist training in surgery (p = 0.022). Surgical experience gained was valued with an average grade of 2+ (1 = best, 6 = worst).
conclusionThe high fundamental interest in a surgical residency during the beginning of medical studies is a competitive advantage of surgical disciplines; however, the diverse recruiting efforts are mainly aimed at later stages of studies. Timely hands-on courses in the core working area of surgery, the operating theatre, have proven to be particularly successful for the long-term acquisition and retention of junior doctors.
