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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to provide an overview of evidence-based methods for urology programs and urologists to improve resident education as well as identify potential future research into this topic. RECENT

findingsUrology residency training has evolved significantly over time. However, there is concern that graduating urology residents are not adequately prepared for independent practice. There are several reasons for this concern, including decreased surgical autonomy in training and a finite amount of time and number of cases that a resident can experience during training. There are many components of urology residency training, including didactic, simulation, intraoperative, and non-technical skills education. While many of these have been studied, there is room for better understanding into how to optimize learning opportunities in each of these domains. Currently, urologic education is heterogeneous and remains more of an art than a science.

resultsAs we have long embraced evidence-based medicine, we should also push for evidence-based education in urology through continued study into how to best educate future urologists.
