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

backgroundAs a starting point for developing concrete suggestions for optimizing specialty training in German ENT departments, the present study analysed the current status of residency training in order to identify weaknesses.

methodsResidents at German ENT departments were invited to participate in an online survey. The questionnaire comprised 78 individual questions.

resultsThe questionnaire was answered by 223 ENT residents. Educational deficits such as a lack of regular feedback from supervisors, only moderately rated mediation of specialist competencies, capriciousness of the trainers in charge regarding the organisation of training, and time and personnel shortages were identified. Some of the mandatory recommendations of the specialty training regulations, including determination of concrete training goals during regular meetings or the use of a logbook, have only been implemented in limited cases. Demands for development of more external training opportunities (job shadowing/rotation) and an external objective review of the residency training (e.g., by a representative of the German Society of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, DGHNOKHC) in the sense of quality assurance are discussed.

conclusionImplementation of structured and standardized ENT residency training in Germany, for which DGHNOKHC reviewal is also possible, can generate a basis for more effective compulsory residency training.
