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

A proposed program for competency-based neurosurgery training was presented for adaptation to a specialized project. The core of this training program is to reflect the contents of medicine that develop in the ordinary competency course necessary during the training period of residency and to systematize the training curriculum focused on competency. For that, the development project of the competency-based training program for neurosurgical residency was conducted under the leadership of the Training Education Committee under the Korean Neurosurgical Society (KNS), with the support of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. In this article, we introduce an educational program for a competency-oriented training system. The educational program sets the goal of the final competency that a neurosurgeon must possess and presents a list of core competencies and activities to perform for this purpose, called entrustable professional activity (EPA). The program structure includes the following domains : seven final competencies, four core competencies, 10 EPAs, and 12 neurosurgical procedures. These educational programs will be uploaded to the KNS website in the future, and we would like to encourage each training hospital to reflect on them.
