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

Introduction and Problem Statement: The aging US population has led to the increased prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases and the critical need for specialists with advanced training in the management of these conditions. Focus on Common Movement Disorders (FOCMD), a 2-day educational course hosted by Vanderbilt University, was started 16 years ago to provide neurology residents with exposure to the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders. Objectives: The aim of the course was to provide early-career neurology residents with relevant exposure to the field of movement disorders, through which we hope to increase medical knowledge of movement disorders and common Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapies and inspire residents to pursue fellowship training in the field. Methods and Curriculum Description: FOCMD consists of lectures and small-group workshops that provide an overview of common movement disorders and approved therapies. All North American neurology residency program directors are invited to nominate a first-year or second-year resident. Attendees are administered standardized multiple-choice precourse and postcourse examinations to assess foundational knowledge of common movement disorders and FDA-approved therapies and to measure acquisition of the course material. Past participants are regularly surveyed to gauge their impression of the course's effect on fellowship selection and their utilization of therapies common in the treatment of movement disorders. Results and Assessment Data: Since 2008, FOCMD has trained 854 neurology residents from 113 programs. Between 2010 and 2020, 507 residents completed the precourse and postcourse examinations. There was an increase of 22.4 (95% CI 20.67-24.49; Discussion and Lessons Learned: Experience with FOCMD has shown it to be successful in introducing neurology residents to the subspecialty early in their career and increasing medical knowledge on movement disorders. An educational program of this format may also positively influence fellowship selection.
