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

Objectives: As part of the further development of an existing training program on scientific skills for health services research at the University Hospital Tübingen, the aim of the study is to determine the level of knowledge, utilization and needs for continuing education among staff. Methods: In 2022, a semi standardized anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted at the University Hospital Tübingen. The content of the questionnaire survey was the level of knowledge and utilization of various research methods, the need for continuing education on these and other healthcare research-related topics and the preferred training concept. The data analysis was carried out descriptively based on absolute and relative frequencies overall and grouped according to the scientific experience of the participants. Results: Participants' self-assessment indicated that a proportion of them had research skills. However, the level of knowledge and utilization varied greatly with regard to different research methods. The 222 participants most frequently expressed a desire for continuing education in the preparation of meta-analyses (56%), questionnaire validation (43%) and -development (42%). There was also great interest in continuing education in the fields of project coordination (57%), third-party funded projects (46%) and science communication (45%). Conclusion: The survey highlights existing research skills and the need for methodological qualification in the field of healthcare research among the staff of the University Hospital Tübingen. The focus appears to be on evidence generation, methods of empirical social research and general research-related skills. The results will be used to design new training courses with a focus on health services research.
