A template for conducting a post-graduate hands-on, urologic ultrasound course.

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
purposeTo describe a program for post-graduate education of urologists providing urologic ultrasound services.
methodsA detailed description of the evolution of an educational program developed by the American Urological Association (AUA) Office of Education for providing the knowledge and fundamental skills necessary for urologists to provide high-quality, medically appropriate urologic ultrasound examinations. The structure of the program, as well as the training of instructors and certification of attainment of the goals and skills set forth in the program, is highlighted. Specific recommendations for providing didactic instruction and managing the logistics of the hands-on training are given.
resultsApproximately 1700 urologists have received post-graduation instruction in the performance of urologic ultrasound in some form under the auspices of the AUA Office of Education since 1993. The hands-on training course has continued to evolve in response to feedback from the attendees and the ongoing emergence of new clinical indications for urologist-performed ultrasound. A post graduate course, including didactic instruction and hands-on skill training, continues to be in demand and fully subscribed and attended.
conclusionInstruction in the performance of diagnostic ultrasound examinations is not a formal component of many urologic residencies in the United States. Since many ultrasound procedures are being performed by practicing urologists, there is an ongoing need for post-graduate training in urologic ultrasound.
