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

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) is committed to developing a sustainable, high-quality clinical education workforce. To train exceptional doctors, exceptional educators are needed. In order to better understand the barriers and enablers to careers as a clinician-educator in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, further research related to the educator experience is required. We argue that renewed efforts to address these barriers and enablers are needed to support Obstetricians and Gynaecologists with expertise and passion for teaching, as they contribute significantly to the training and sustainability of the current and future medical workforce. Those supports should target the following areas identified from this literature review: institutional support and culture, personal motivation and interest, balance of clinical service and delivery of education and career impact and advancement. Amid rising numbers of medical students, post-pandemic challenges in the hospital and workforce pressures for specialists and general practitioners in Australia, it is essential to prioritise clinical education strategic planning and research. This review contributes to the literature by supporting existing efforts to develop structured educator pathways such as the new RANZCOG Academy of Clinician Educators.
