Informed Consent for Academic Surgeons: A Curriculum-Based Update.
Article in MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 principles of consent are evolving but remain an important part of the surgeon-patient relationship. The goal of this course was a concise, contemporary review of the principles of informed consent that would be favorably received by academic surgeons. Methods: The curriculum consisted of ethicohistorical and legal principles, current requirements, and new consent developments. An anonymous, voluntary evaluation tool was used to assess strengths and opportunities for improvement. A short postcourse quiz was developed to assess understanding. Results: Eighty-five percent of the surgery department faculty participated. Evaluations were overwhelmingly positive, all elements having weighted averages of greater than 4.5 on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Discussion: A proper understanding of informed consent remains critically important in the practice of surgery. This short course updating surgeons on informed consent quantitatively confirms the favorable reception of this approach in terms of attendance and satisfaction, as well as understanding of the material.
