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: The need for psychotherapy training (PT) has been recognized worldwide and is considered an integral component of postgraduate psychiatry training. Our study aims to assess the quality of PT received by psychiatrists during their postgraduate studies and its impact on their current practice. Aim: To evaluate the quality of PT and its effect on the current psychiatry practice. Methodology: An anonymous web-based survey was conducted on registered psychiatrists practicing in India to evaluate the level and quality of PT received during their postgraduate studies. Results: The survey indicates that PT was included in the postgraduate psychiatry curriculum (73.8%). However, more than 50% of responders reported no separate posting, evaluation, logbook, or guidelines related to PT. Most (95.4%) psychiatrists think their PT could have been better. PT was satisfying in medical colleges in terms of inclusion in the curriculum (7.70, Conclusion: PT is not well organized, consistent, and uniform in psychiatry training; there is a prevailing sense of inadequacy and dissatisfaction among the country's psychiatrists with a perceived need to improve and learn PT.
