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

Background: Medical interns have 2 weeks compulsory internship in psychiatry. Aim: We tried to explore their learning and views about psychiatry during these 2 weeks. To document verbatim their account about the knowledge gained and their experiences during the psychiatry internship posting and derive prominent themes. Methods: Focus group discussion was conducted at the end of the posting using a semistructured questionnaire for seven consecutive batches of interns posted in psychiatry. To enhance trustworthiness, we utilized member checking, data triangulation, and peer debriefing. Their routine during posting, competencies, expectations from the posting, and frustrations were the main points discussed. The interns willingly participated and discussed their views about psychiatry posting. Results: They were aware of psychiatry as an important medical discipline and had a fair degree of knowledge about it. Most of them found the posting useful. The interns had not attained the required competencies in handling emergencies and use of psychiatric drugs. Conclusion: Involvement of senior faculty and formative assessments will be necessary in the training of medical interns. This can ensure that they gain the required competencies.
