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

backgroundCommunication and interprofessional collaboration with patients diagnosed with cancer is challenging. Structured communication training has not yet been integrated into postgraduate medical education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an 80-teaching unit interprofessional communication training (ICT), as recommended in the National Cancer Plan, at a clinic with a uro-oncological focus.

methodsA needs assessment was conducted using focus groups and individual interviews. Learning objectives were aligned with (inter)national learning objective catalogs. The ICT was developed using the six-step approach according to Kern and design-based research. Utilization and acceptance were evaluated. The ICT comprised six face-to-face workshops (50 teaching units) and team supervision sessions (10 teaching units). Six defined settings were identified for the individual workplace-based training (20 teaching units): Ward rounds, handover, reporting of medical findings, admission and discharge interviews, and a freely choosable setting.

resultsPhysician participation rates in the workshops were 83.0% and nursing participation rates were 58.3%. Utilization of the workplace-based training was 97%. The physicians evaluated the ICT very positively. All participants felt better prepared for discussions with patients and relatives. For continuity, physicians were trained as mentors.

conclusionThe implementation of an ICT with 80 teaching units is successfully feasible in a urological clinic and leads to a sustainable improvement of the communication culture, among other things through mentor training.
