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

International surgical fellowships offer senior trainees the opportunity to experience alternative health systems and learn novel cutting-edge techniques. They might also offer trainees exposure to a job market that they had not considered before. Obtaining a surgical fellowship in a reputable North American institution has been the chosen pathway for generations of Irish surgical trainees, yet it is not always a straightforward pathway. The following manuscript highlights the necessary preparation and key steps required to be a successful candidate in the search for a fellowship. It details some key pieces of advice surrounding the application and interview process and provides some guidance on how to choose a programme that will best suit your needs and meet your expectations.
