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

The popularity of Transition to Residency (TTR) courses has been increasing in U.S. medical schools. Yet there is limited data on interns' perceived preparation for residency and the value of nonsurgical TTR courses and their common components. Research has shown that TTR courses increase medical knowledge, clinical skills, and an increase in confidence in participants, but still, incoming residents do not feel prepared for the start of residency. Currently, there are only a few single institution studies researching interns' perceived value of TTR courses. This quantitative study surveyed internal medicine interns at five residency programs to find their preparation for residency, their preparedness in TTR competencies, and the perceived value of common TTR components. Data show that IM interns still feel unprepared for residency. The data also indicate that individuals who engage in TTR courses feel more prepared in TTR competencies compared to those who do not participate in TTR courses. Finally, internal medicine interns found the common TTR components valuable.
