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

backgroundMedical schools worldwide have employed different practices to facilitate a smooth transition from medical school into the internship phase to promote success in graduates' future professional life. The College of Medicine at Princess Nourah University (PNU) has developed a unique internship preparatory program focusing on soft and clinical skills.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the internship preparatory program (IPP) and evaluate its effectiveness in improving medical students' transition to internship. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe IPP for fifth-year medical students at PNU was planned and designed based on students' needs, the Saudi-Med framework, and similar national/international programs. The one-year longitudinal IPP in 2016-2017 covered four modules conducted as ten workshops focusing on soft skills, clinical skills, and professional development for the future. All data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20.

resultsThe IPP was attended and evaluated by 48 participants; 70% of them attended 80% of the IPP workshops. The satisfaction rate for workshop participants was 6.8-8.8 out of 10. Most participants were either satisfied or strongly satisfied with respect to each item on the IPP satisfaction scale; the median satisfaction score was 4 out of 5. A positive significant correlation between the satisfaction score and the number of workshops attended was detected.

conclusionThe IPP was a satisfying initiative for most participants. It refines their clinical and soft skills, facilitates future planning, and provides a smooth transition from medical school to internship.
