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

objectiveTo implement a mentoring program for early career faculty in an academic radiology department and to assess its impact on career development.

methodsA formal departmental mentoring program for early career faculty (instructors) who were paired with senior radiologists outside of their division was implemented. The program provided structured one-on-one mentoring, creation of a mentoring network, and opportunities for peer mentoring. A survey was conducted before and 1 year after initiation of the program. Historical data on promotion over 5 years before the implementation of the program was used to determine the impact on the rate of promotion. The study was exempt from institutional review board approval.

resultsBefore and 1 year after implementation of the mentoring program, 57% versus 86% of instructors were satisfied with their mentor (P = .04); 43% versus 90% felt that by encouraging mentorship, the department valued their professional development (P = .001); 38% versus 86% felt that the department created an environment that promoted feedback and sharing of information (P = .002); and 43% versus 76% felt that faculty strove to support each other (P = .03). Since implementation of the program, 43% of instructors received grant funding, 50% received other awards, and 10 instructors were promoted to assistant professor, compared with an average of 4.2/y over the past 5 years. Of those, three were underrepresented minorities in medicine versus none in the previous 5 years.

conclusionsA mentoring program helped to advance the careers of early career and minority radiology faculty and helped create an atmosphere of more openness and support in the department.
