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

objectiveDefine and develop a set of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) to link clinical training and assessment of the hospital components of neonatal care in neonatology medical residency programs.

methodsAn exploratory study was conducted in two phases using a modified Delphi approach. In the first phase, a committee of five neonatology residency program coordinators drafted an initial set of EPAs based on the national matrix of competencies and on EPAs defined by international organizations. In the second phase, a group of neonatal care physicians and medical residents rated the indispensability and clarity of the EPAs and provided comments and suggestions.

resultsSeven EPAs were drafted by the coordinators´ committee (n = 5) and used in the content validation process with a group (n = 37) of neonatal care physicians and medical residents. In the first Delphi round, all EPAs reached a content validity index (CVI) above 0.8. The coordinators´ committee analyzed comments and suggestions and revised the EPAs. A second Delphi round with the revised EPAs was conducted to validate and all items maintained a CVI above 0.8 for indispensability and clarity.

conclusionSeven entrustable professional activities were developed to assess residents in the hospital components of neonatal care medicine. These EPAs might contribute to implementing competency-based neonatology medical residency programs grounded in core professional activities.
