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

This correspondence article aims to outline the importance of an integrated clinical component within Quality Improvement education in response to the recently published article by Shah et al.. The Quality Improvement and Patient Safety workshops described in the above study were compared with the Quality Improvement module experienced by medical students at King's College London. The key difference between the two methods of teaching Quality Improvement was the clinical project undertaken by King's College Students, which helped students gain an appreciation of the pitfalls of instigating change in a clinical environment. The authors feel that this arguably more authentic experience could have benefited the students in the study in making them feel better equipped to use the skills learned in the theoretical workshops in their later careers.
