The impact of autopsy participation on clinical residency.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAutopsy has had an essential role in ensuring the quality of education and medical care. However, its role in clinical residency has not been clarified. This study assessed actual autopsy circumstances during clinical residency and evaluated the association between autopsy and clinical knowledge.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study involving postgraduate second year residents in Japan who took the General Medicine In-Training Examination in 2019. We modeled the General Medicine In-Training Examination scores of the residents to examine their association with autopsy experiences and the number of autopsy experiences to assess its predictors.
resultsOf 2715 postgraduate second year residents, 353 (13.8%) had no autopsy participation, and 1015 (39.7%) had only one experience. Although autopsy participation was not related to the mean General Medicine In-Training Examination score, the residents' clinicopathological conference participation, self-study for more than 60 min per day, and wish to be pathologists were significantly associated with autopsy experiences. They experienced more autopsies when they belonged to small-sized hospitals in rural areas performing many autopsies.
conclusionWe reported the current status of autopsy in clinical residency and showed that more than half of the residents experienced no or only one autopsy. General Medicine In-Training Examination scores were not correlated with the number of autopsy experiences.
