Analysis of Surgical Resident Operative Volumes on China's Resident Training.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Doctors entering surgical residency with different educational degrees and from different specialties is a unique feature of the Chinese medical system. The effect of this on the experience of surgical residents is not known. We retrospectively investigated whether residents' operative volumes were based on highest educational degree or postgraduate specialty. Using our operating data management system, a retrospective analysis of surgical resident operative experience at Shanghai General Hospital from 2012 to 2017 was conducted. The overall monthly average operative volume for surgical residents was 17.7 (12.6-26.5), but this decreased with each advanced degree of education from 26.0 (19.2-34.5) for those with a bachelor's degree only, to 19.5 (16.0-28.1) for a master's degree, to 15.9 (12.2-22.9) for those with a doctorate. Regarding specialty, residents in plastic surgery had the highest operative volume, and those in cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery had the lowest. At Shanghai General Hospital, the operative volumes of surgical residents differed according to their highest educational degree and postgraduate specialty. This analysis should be useful for the future planning of surgical residency programs in China.
