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

Cancer is set to become the leading worldwide cause of premature death and mortality will be disproportionately greater in low-and-middle-income countries (LMIC) due to limitations in physical resources and oncology specialists. To address unmet workforce and educational needs, the Department of Radiation Oncology at Mayo Clinic developed the Global Oncology Fellowship, a 2-year multidisciplinary oncology training program for practicing physicians from LMIC. The fellowship was developed through collaboration with multiple institutional departments and external stakeholders. Eligible fellows are graduates of a recognized international medical school who have completed oncology training in a LMIC and confirm intent to practice in a LMIC. During the 2-year program, fellows rotate through Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Palliative Care, Diagnostic Radiology, radiation dosimetry, research, and leadership development. The program design is flexible and can be tailored to fit the trainee's clinical needs and interests and focuses on malignancies and technologies that are common in LMIC. The Global Oncology Fellowship was successfully established and supported by benefactor funds. Recruitment of the first trainee faced challenges related to COVID pandemic, completion of medical licensing exams, and obtaining a United States visa. The first fellow started in February 2023 with training ongoing. With the formal approval of the Global Oncology Fellowship in 2024, the program is recruiting for the 2025-2027 academic years. Short- and-long term assessments of the program are ongoing. The Mayo Clinic Global Oncology Fellowship is a multi-disciplinary training program developed to address the educational needs of oncologists in low-and-middle income countries. We hope to contribute to the number of highly trained oncology specialists in LMIC, who will go on to be leaders in clinical care, education, and research.
