Post-graduate training in Laboratory Medicine: Potential to fill a crucial gap in Indian healthcare system.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Quality Laboratory services with a widespread reach is the core of a healthcare system of the country. Diagnostic services at all levels requires technical expertise of different laboratory specialists. However the presence of all specialist together in one setup is always not possible due to limited number of trained manpower. Even today, diagnostic laboratory services remain unsupervised. To void this gap, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi, in 1988, opened up the patient-centric department of Laboratory Medicine with a centralised specimen collection centre and a core laboratory performing the majority of the routine laboratory investigations, offering a one-window solution to both patients and clinicians. In 1997, a three-year postgraduate Masters degree (MD) in Laboratory Medicine was started. This medical specialty encompasses the art of test selection, test operation, and test interpretation to manage patients. It aligns with the recent technological advancement of automation and advanced instrumentation that are breaking boundaries of the traditional medical laboratories of pathology, biochemistry, and microbiology. This postgraduate model ensures that the laboratory services are accessible, affordable, and available to both patients and clinicians without compromising quality care. Laboratory Medicine is emerging as an answer to one of the several inadequacies and pitfalls of the Indian health system.
