Sonographer Skill Teaching Practices Survey: Development and initial validation of a survey instrument.
Article in Australasian journal of ultrasound in medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo report on the initial content development of the sonographer skill teaching practices survey (SonoSTePs) tool to measure skill teaching perceptions.
methodThe nine-step model by Sarantakos [
resultsResults of the pilot testing identified differing discriminant variability (variation ratios) between the use of a five-point and a seven-point Likert-type frequency scale. In particular, the pilot two (P2) 30-item instrument, using a frequency seven-point Likert-type scale, resulted in good variation ratios (0.68 across 24 items; SD=0.11), demonstrating discriminatory ability between individual participant's teaching practices.
conclusionsThe content and face validity of the SonoSTePs instrument has been established using principles of questionnaire construction and development.
