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

backgroundDirect Care Hospitalist Services (DCHS) can increase internal medicine (IM) sub-internship rotation availability while providing hospitalists additional teaching opportunities.

aimImplement and evaluate a DCHS sub-internship.

settingUrban Academic Medical School.

participantsIM sub-interns, hospitalists. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: One to two sub-interns were paired with three hospitalists on 3 weeks of day service and five nights in an apprenticeship model. Sub-interns admitted and followed patients on days and cross-covered and admitted on nights. PROGRAM EVALUATION: DCHS sub-intern rotation satisfaction and skills preparedness were surveyed over 2 years. Sub-interns rotating on resident-covered service (RCS) were surveyed in year 2, and results compared to DCHS. Hospitalists were surveyed year 1 to rate satisfaction. Year 2 DCHS cross-cover paging data was tabulated to evaluate clinical content. DCHS and RCS sub-interns rated satisfaction and preparedness similarly. DCHS sub-interns rated time management (3.86 vs 4.33, p = 0.19) and calling consults (4.4 vs 4.8, p = 0.56) lower, but cross-cover higher (4.14 to 3.67, p = 0.34) than RCS. DCHS sub-interns averaged 39.4 (SD 4.1) nightly cross-cover pages with most related to acute symptoms (46%). Hospitalists were highly satisfied with their rotation experience. DISCUSSION: Sub-interns were highly satisfied with DCHS sub-internship. Future work will target gaps in preparedness for urgent patient care issues.
