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

objectivesTo incorporate a longitudinal palliative care curriculum into obstetrics and gynecology (Ob-Gyn) residency that could become standardized to ensure competencies in providing end of life (EOL) care.

methodsThis was a prospective cohort study conducted among 23 Ob-Gyn residents at a tertiary training hospital from 2021 to 2022. A curriculum intervention was provided via lecture and simulation. An inpatient palliative care rotation was also created for the intern class. Scores for knowledge and confidence were compared pre- and post-curriculum. Performance on patient simulations was compared for interns who had the inpatient palliative rotation versus those that had not in a crossover fashion. Number of palliative care consults was also compared before and during the curriculum. A pooled, weighted rank-based test was used for analysis of the data with a

resultsEOL care is a critical component of any physician's practice including obstetrician gynecologists. However, prior studies demonstrate a lack of standardized training. Our study demonstrates that a multimodal palliative care curriculum is an effective method to train Ob-Gyn residents and improve palliative care involvement in patient care.
