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.
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: The structures of postgraduate medical education are regulated by the (guideline) regulations on specialty training ((M-)WBO). This formal structure is the result of medical discourse between medical associations, specialist societies and other associations. Various developments can be seen in the WBO. This study examines whether changes at the level of the WBO can contribute to changing and didactically optimizing postgraduate education in hospitals. Methods: Based on Mayring's theory a document analysis of the MWBO 1992, 2003 and 2018 was carried out with an additional focus on aspects of surgery. For this purpose, texts and contents of the MWBOs were compared and word frequencies were analyzed. In addition, three guided interviews with experts were conducted and analyzed according to Kuckartz using MAXQDA. The experts were selected based on their position and their involvement in the MWBO adaptation process. Results: The analysis of the WBO shows that efforts are being made to adapt specialty training in hospitals in order to make it more structured and didactically optimized. Concepts are being introduced and, in some cases abolished (e.g. specialist knowledge "Fachkunden") or further developed (e.g. competencies). The word frequency analysis shows the use of the same eight most frequent terms, which seem to define the basic character of postgraduate education. There are also obstacles to communication between the medical self-administration and the clinical stakeholders, which limit the possibilities for change. Conclusion: For implementation of the WBO in hospitals, clinicians need to be included even more intensively. This should not only take place during the development of the WBO, but especially during its implementation in the hospitals themselves to enable better integration of the new structures and didactic concepts of the WBO.
