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

backgroundThere is a need to integrate informatics education into medical training programs given the rise in demand for health informaticians and the call on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the body of undergraduate medical education for implementation of informatics curricula.

objectivesThis report outlines a 2-year longitudinal informatics curriculum now currently in its seventh year of implementation. This report is intended to inform U.S. Graduate Medical Education (GME) program leaders of the necessary requirements for implementation of a similar program at their institution.

methodsThe curriculum aligns with the core content for the subspecialty of clinical informatics (CI) and is led by a multidisciplinary team with both informatics and clinical expertise. This educational pathway has a low direct cost and is a practical example of the academic learning health system (aLHS) in action. The pathway is housed within an internal medicine department at a large tertiary academic medical center.

resultsThe curriculum has yielded 13 graduates from both internal medicine (11, 85%) and pediatrics (2, 15%) whose projects have spanned acute and ambulatory care and multiple specialties. Projects have included clinical decision support tools, of which some will be leveraged as substrate in applications seeking extramural funding. Graduates have gone on to CI board certification and fellowship, as well as several other specialties, creating a distributed network of clinicians with specialized experience in applied CI.

conclusionAn informatics curriculum at the GME level may increase matriculation to CI fellowship and more broadly increase development of the CI workforce through building a cadre of physicians with health information technology expertise across specialties without formal CI board certification. We offer an example of a longitudinal pathway, which is rooted in aLHS principles. The pathway requires a dedicated multidisciplinary team and departmental and information technology leadership support.
