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

introductionPhysician training is seeing increasing numbers of doctors adopting the role of medical registrar. Non-clinical as well as clinical responsibilities are a source of great anxiety prior to trainees assuming this role.

methodsA standardised, blended, 1-day course to address the needs of doctors transitioning to become a medical registrar was designed and delivered across four hospitals. A mixed methods evaluation approach was employed to assess the effect of the course.

resultsThirty-four trainees approaching the transition to becoming a medical registrar participated. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of participants' written feedback showed a significant pre- to post-course increase in candidates' self-reported confidence in undertaking the medical registrar role along with learning in non-technical skills. DISCUSSION: This course was shown to be effective in helping to improve the confidence of trainees approaching the medical registrar role. The carefully designed standardised format may facilitate wider expansion of such training.
