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

Competency based medical education is developed utilizing a program of assessment that ideally supports learners to reflect on their knowledge and skills, allows them to exercise a growth mindset that prepares them for coaching and eventual lifelong learning, and can support important progression and certification decisions. Examinations can serve as an important anchor to that program of assessment, particularly when considering their strength as an independent, third-party assessment with evidence that they can predict future physician performance and patient outcomes. This paper describes the aims of the
