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

Purpose: Advances in bioinformatics, information technology, advanced computing, imaging techniques are changing fundamentally the way physicians define, diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. New disciplines - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computational Biology - are improving healthcare. Digital health solutions have immense scope. Education and practice need to keep pace. Methods: We aimed at assessment of "Technology proficiency" required by medical graduates and its implementation, if found useful. All this in a conceptual framework of "TP" model, having categories (a) proper assessment (b) pertinent treatment (c) progress monitoring (d) prevention applications (e) professional standards. A search of the literature was performed using MedLine & Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, for systematic reviews and meta-analysis articles published in the last five years using keyword "technology". Analysis of those relevant to the role all medical graduates should play. An analysis of worldwide statutory medical institutions guidelines. Results: Twenty-three systematic studies and meta-analysis were studied. Eighteen show clear evidence for 'Technology proficiency", while 5 recommend further studies. The findings are discussed suiting the roles of doctors in the "TP" model. Medical institutions guidelines worldwide diligence suggests need of including "Technology proficiency" as a definite and distinct strategic plan. Medical Council of India mandates "use information technology for appropriate patient care and continued learning". General Medical Council, UK and Medical Council India have been proactive in technology training. GMC recommends technology use for learning, prescribing, communication, and interpersonal skills. It should be expanding technology proficiency in practice as an essential professional capability. Conclusion: "Technology proficiency" is found pertinently fruitful. It should be included as a definitive requirement and a distinct strategic plan worldwide. Modern curriculum development is proposed (i) Educational goals and objectives as the proposed Conceptual framework "Technology proficiency" model (ii) Instructional strategies 'Five Bs' (iii) Implementation 'Five Ms'.
