Tracer Study of St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College Radiology Graduates: Career and Curriculum Insights.
Article in Ethiopian journal of health sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Saint Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College (SPHMMC) is one of Ethiopia's premier radiology training institutions. This study aimed to trace graduates of SPHMMC's radiology program and examined their career outcomes and perspectives on the training received. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, recruiting 78 participants. Data on employment status, career outcomes, job satisfaction, and perceptions regarding the program's strengths, weaknesses, and curriculum relevance were collected through a web-based questionnaire from May 31 to June 8, 2024. SPSS version 26 was used for data processing and analysis. Results: The study revealed a high employment rate among SPHMMC radiology graduates, with 97% employed and 75% securing jobs within one month of graduation. Most graduates held permanent positions (86%) as radiology specialists, sub-specialists, and academicians. There was notable regional variation, with 65% working in Addis Ababa. Job satisfaction levels were 79% for radiology careers and 53% for current jobs. Satisfaction with the program overall and curriculum relevance was 69% and 96%, respectively. Conclusions: High employment rates, and career and curriculum satisfaction levels might be reflective of the high market demand for radiologists in Ethiopia and the effectiveness of SPHMMC's radiology program in preparing graduates for professional careers. The regional disparity in radiologist distribution suggests underlying systemic issues that require further investigation.
