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

introductionThe American Board of Emergency Medicine identifies medical toxicology as an essential curricular element for emergency medicine (EM) residencies; however, access to medical toxicology education varies widely by institution. We hypothesized that EM residents are uncomfortable with core toxicology content and would be interested in  a dedicated toxicology curriculum.

methodsAn electronic needs assessment survey developed by experts in EM and medical toxicology was sent to residents and program leadership at nine EM programs participating in the Emergency Medicine Education Research Alliance (EMERA), a geographically diverse sampling of academic EM residency programs. We queried the presence of a current toxicology curriculum, interest in a dedicated toxicology curriculum, and comfort with core toxicology concepts for board examinations and in clinical practice. 

resultsA total of 148 residents and 8 faculty leadership completed the survey.  Only 29% of resident respondents felt comfortable with toxicology concepts, and only 66% of respondents reported access to a toxicology curriculum. Of those without a known toxicology curriculum, most were interested in a formal curriculum. Faculty respondents reported 6/8 programs offered a toxicology curriculum. Faculty at the two programs without a formal curriculum expressed interest in a dedicated curriculum.

conclusionsEmergency medicine residents remain uncomfortable with the core toxicology content in clinical practice. The majority of residents without a known toxicology curriculum would be interested in a dedicated toxicology curriculum.
