Effect of New RCOG 2019 Curriculum and COVID 19 on Gynaecological Training in the U.K.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) introduced a new curriculum in 2019. Furthermore, the National Health Service was hit by the COVID 19 pandemic in 2020. Our survey aims to find how the new RCOG curriculum and COVID 19 pandemic affected gynaecological training amongst specialist trainees in the UK. PATIENTS AND
methodsA cross sectional study was conducted using the University of Leicester online survey platform involving the RCOG trainees in the UK from the 1st of June 2021 to the 1st of October 2021. The survey was divided into two main categories: 1) new RCOG curriculum and gynaecology training, 2) COVID 19 pandemic and gynaecology training.
resultsWe received replies from 10% of trainees. The quality of gynaecology training under the new RCOG curriculum was described as less than good in 75.6% of respondents. Around one-third (29.2%) of trainees did not have local gynaecology simulation training. The COVID 19 pandemic adversely affected all aspects of gynaecology training. Benign gynaecology, subfertility, urogynaecology, and gynaeoncology modules training were affected in 94.0%, 85.1%, 89.7%, and 83.5% of trainees, respectively. During the pandemic, gynaecology teaching was affected in 84.9% of trainees, redeployment occurred in 11.8% of trainees, and 16% suffered adverse ARCP outcomes.
conclusionThe new RCOG curriculum and COVID 19 pandemic have simultaneously compromised the gynaecology training amongst the UK trainees. RCOG and GMC-led more comprehensive survey would be welcomed to incorporate our findings and take necessary actions.
