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

Background Residency program websites are an important resource widely used by prospective applicants when applying to programs. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the program content available on Canadian anesthesiology residency program websites using established criteria and identify any areas for improvement.  Methods In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the content available on accredited anesthesiology residency training program websites, between July and August 2021, using 54 criteria provided in the following domains: recruitment; faculty; residents; education and research; clinical work; incentives; wellness; and environment. Website scores were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented as median (interquartile range), percentage (%), and range. Results We identified 17 programs with publicly available functional websites. Overall, residency programs met a median of 28 (interquartile range: 18-36) website criteria out of 54 (51.9%). Education and research was the highest-scoring domain among residency programs (median 77.8% of criteria met), while resident information and incentives were the lowest (14.3%). Conclusion Canadian anesthesiology residency program websites include information on many domains relevant to prospective applicants, including education and research. However, most websites require improvement and content updates for faculty information, resident information, incentives, wellness, and environment.
