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

backgroundThe National Examination of Knowledge in Medicine establishes the knowledge profile (PdC) a physician must possess to practice public medicine in Chile. However, no study has evaluated the perception of dermatology training regarding the acquisition of the minimum competencies required. This study described and compared the impressions of the dermatology training received by the University of Chile (UCh) graduates with graduates from other national and international faculties of medicine. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a cross-sectional study, based on a single survey model, applied via E-mail to registered physicians in an online database, with emphasis on UCh medicine graduates, from the generations 2012 to 2016. The data were collected anonymously, tabulated, and analyzed in MINITAB.

resultsFrom 908 UCh graduates, 141 surveys were answered (15.5%). Nine of 10 physicians considered "important" to obtain knowledge in dermatology. About 68.8% found the information they received was adequate. When comparing UCh graduates with other Chilean universities, UCh graduates had a slightly better impression of their training. When comparing Chilean versus foreign graduates, the latter presented a better perception of their preparation in cutaneous pathology.

conclusionUCh graduates were satisfied with their dermatological training at the undergraduate level and felt better prepared than colleagues from other Chilean universities when facing cutaneous pathologies.
