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

Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education is growing throughout medical education, but many institutions lack POCUS-trained faculty. Interprofessional education offers a strategy for expanding the pool of available teachers while providing an opportunity for collaboration between health professional students. Methods: Six students enrolled in the diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) program participated in a case-based, train-the-trainer session to practice a standardized approach for POCUS instruction. They then served as coaches to 25 first-year internal medicine residents learning to perform ultrasound exams of the kidneys, bladder, and aorta. Course assessment included an objective structured exam (OSCE), coaching evaluations, and course evaluations. Results: Residents scored an average of 81% (71.3 out of 88 points, Discussion: An interprofessional workshop with DMS students coaching internal medicine residents was an effective strategy for teaching POCUS skills. This approach may offer a solution for programs wanting to implement POCUS training with limited faculty expertise or time.
