Preparedness to practice paediatric hospital medicine.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe field of paediatric hospital medicine (PHM) is evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly complex paediatric population, lead quality improvement initiatives, and conduct field-specific teaching and research. Over 50 subspecialty PHM fellowship programs exist in the USA and Canada and more are under active development to ensure trainees are prepared to perform competencies specific to the field following transition to independent practice.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the perceived preparedness of recently graduated general paediatric residents and recently certified staff paediatricians in Canada with respect to the practice of PHM.
methodsA survey based on the 'Objectives of Training in Pediatrics' of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) was distributed to graduating paediatric residents and recently graduated staff paediatricians (2013 to 2017) practicing in the hospital setting. Qualitative comments were also obtained.
resultsFifty-five surveys were completed (50%). Respondents perceived that, at the on-set of starting practice, they would require assistance or consultation with the majority of representative PHM task competencies. Differences in perception between the two groups were minimal. Our study identified sub-sets of perceived areas of particular strengths (Professional) and deficiencies (Medical Expert, Manager, and Scholar).
conclusionsResults may help inform future curricula for general paediatric residency programs and provide insight into competencies that may be better targeted for PHM fellowship training programs. This study may also stimulate discussion regarding entrustable professional activities for paediatric curricula as the medical community shifts to a new paradigm of outcome-based assessment.
