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

Medical education continues to evolve with technologic advances, cultural changes, and progress in the application of learning theories. One example is Cutrer's concept of the Master Adaptive Learner (MAL), where the trainee self-directs learning and innovates to maintain a level of expertise in a domain. We suggest that this concept can be applied alongside ideas of adaptive and teacher expertise to represent the medical educator of the future-the Master Adaptive Clinician Educator (MACE). The MACE is a clinician-educator leader who has specific medical education training, actively engages in ongoing education-focused skills development, and creates innovative approaches to teaching. The MACE reflects and continuously develops an educational toolbox, applies lessons from learning theories, and appropriately adapts to various learning environments. In this manuscript, we build upon recent publications outlining roles and competencies of clinician-educators by applying the MAL model; we propose a dynamic, adaptable, and well-trained expert educator who is best poised to lead future generations of medical trainees. We challenge institutional leaders and national societies to take the lead in creating structures to support the growth and promotion of MACEs with the goal of positively reshaping medical education and the clinician educator.
