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

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in Canadian undergraduate medical education (UGME) is limited. To address this paucity, the inaugural Seguin Canadian POCUS Education Conference hosted 14 of the 17 Canadian medical schools to develop a list of recommendations for POCUS education in Canadian UGME. Attending schools were divided into delegations consisting of a pre-clerkship student, a clerkship student and a staff physician. Recommendations were developed via a modified consensus development panel. Delegations submitted school-specific POCUS education summary documents for roundtable discussions, which yielded an initial set of recommendations. These were then summarized in a large group setting and voted upon for adoption with an a priori agreement threshold of 80%. Conference attendees developed 14 recommendations which 87% of participants agreed to adopt. Conference recommendations reflect the opinions of Canadian trainees and POCUS education experts thus serving as a framework for UGME POCUS education in Canada.
