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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe widening gap between urban and rural health outcomes is exacerbated by physician shortages that disproportionately affect rural communities. Rural residencies are an effective mechanism to increase physician placement in rural and medically underserved areas yet are limited in number due to funding. Community health center/academic medicine partnerships (CHAMPs) can serve as a collaborative framework for expansion of academic primary care residencies outside of traditional funding models. This report describes 10-year outcomes of a rural training pathway developed as part of a CHAMP collaboration.

methodsUsing data from internal registries and public sources, our retrospective study examined demographic and postgraduation practice characteristics for rural pathway graduates. We identified the rates of postgraduation placement in rural (Federal Office of Rural Health Policy grant-eligible) and federally designated Medically Underserved Areas/Populations (MUA/Ps). We assessed current placement for graduates >3 years from program completion.

resultsOver a 10-year period, 25 trainees graduated from the two residency expansion sites. Immediately postgraduation, 84% (21) were in primary care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs), 80% (20) in MUA/Ps, and 60% (15) in rural locations. Sixteen graduates were >3 years from program completion, including 69% (11) in primary care HPSAs, 69% (11) in MUA/Ps, and 50% (5) in rural locations.

conclusionsThis CHAMP collaboration supported development of a rural pathway that embedded family medicine residents in community health centers and effectively increased placement in rural and MUA/Ps. This report adds to national research on rural workforce development, highlighting the role of academic-community partnerships in expanding rural residency training outside of traditional funding models.
