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

There has been increased focus on global surgery in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) since the Lancet commission on global surgery was published in 2015. Interest from surgical trainees in overseas placements during their training is high with a number of motivating factors to engage in overseas work. In this article, we outline the overseas experience of a UK-based orthopaedic trainee during their time out of training in Malawi from both the trainee and training program director perspectives. Overseas LMIC placements during orthopaedic training are encouragingly becoming more established and are supported by a growing body of literature showing widespread benefits to the individual volunteer, donor and host institutions.
