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

contextFamily physicians, trained in handling primary care problems through the principles of family medicine (FM), were needed in India. The training required a comprehensive and detailed curriculum that could be implemented across the country.

aimThe aim was to create a document that includes rationale, goals, subject-based objectives, educational methods and assessment methods that align to the objectives. DESIGN AND

methodsKern's Six-Step-method was used to create a curriculum document. The six steps are (a) problem identification and general needs assessment, (b) targeted needs assessment, determining and prioritizing content, (c) writing goals and objectives, (d) selecting teaching/education strategies,(e) implementation of the curriculum and (f) evaluation and application of the lessons learnt. RESULTS AND

conclusionsBased on the given steps, a team of faculty identified needs, requirements and barriers, wrote goals and objectives along with aligned educational and assessment methods. The curriculum document was created for FM resident training. The first set of residents have been trained based on this curriculum and an evaluation is being planned.
