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: Measurement of medical graduates' perception of their internship program can help to improve the program to guarantee the general satisfaction of medical interns and enhance their clinical training. Objective: To evaluate the medical interns' perceived preparedness for clinical practice and investigate the contributing elements. Method: The study was carried out to include 109 medical interns. Assessment preparedness for hospital practice questionnaire in Hospitals was used. Results: For clinical practice, the vast majority of participants (81.7%) were either fully or very well prepared. However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the intern characteristics and preparedness level. It was found that the interns were not well prepared regarding handling emergencies, dealing with dying patients (44%), inserting an intravenous line (35.8%), conducting a digital-rectal examination (31.2%), as well as speaking with the social worker about the patient (29%). Males scored significantly higher than females regarding the interpersonal domain. Conclusion & recommendations: The results revealed that most interns were adequately trained for their clinical experiences. More emphasis on training in emergencies, catheterization, insertion of intravenous lines, and dealing with dying patients is required, in addition to continuous assessment of the interns after each clinical rotation to discover the areas of weakness.
