Comparison of performance data between emergency medicine 1-3 and 1-4 program formats.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Objective: This study compares performance data from physicians completing 3-year versus 4-year emergency medicine residency training programs. Currently, there are 2 training formats and little is known about objective performance differences. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of emergency residents and physicians. Multiple analyses were conducted comparing physicians' performances, including Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education Milestones and American Board of Emergency Medicine In-training Examination (ITE), Qualifying Examination (QE), Oral Certification Examination (OCE), and program extensions from 3-year and 4-year residency programs. Some confounding variables were not or could not be considered, such as rationale for medical students to choose one format over another, as well as application and final match rates. Results: Milestone scores are higher for emergency medicine 3 residents in 1-3 programs (3.51) versus emergency medicine 3 residents in 1-4 programs (3.07; Conclusions: These results suggest that although performance measures demonstrate small differences between physicians from emergency medicine 1-3 and 1-4 programs, these differences are limited in their ability to make causal claims about performance on the basis of program format alone.
