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

backgroundEducational opportunities in federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) are important to develop our physician workforce at FQHCs but are rare in internal medicine (IM) training programs.

aimTo describe the process, feasibility, and early outcomes of an IM resident continuity clinic at a FQHC. SETTING AND

participantsThe IM residency is a large academic program. The FQHC serves over 40,000 patients per year, of which the vast majority are Hispanic/Latino(a) (88%), speak Spanish (69%), live below 100% of the federal poverty level (80%), and rely on Medicaid (60%) or lack insurance (22%). PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The continuity clinic was launched in July 2022 with six residents. PROGRAM EVALUATION: After 18 months, patient panel grew to 680 patients. Patients are young (age 18-39 = 55%), uninsured (54%), below 100% federal poverty line (82%), and Spanish speaking (84%). Residents' continuity was 53.3% with a no-show and same day cancel rate of 26.6%. Residents saw an average of 15.76 patients per day while the attending's non-resident clinic saw 15.44 per day (P = 0.31). Average resident satisfaction was 96%. DISCUSSION: A collaborative IM resident continuity clinic at a FQHC is feasible, highly satisfying for residents, and cost-neutral for the FQHC.
