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

Considering all medical schools in the nation and the preparation of the third round, which will begin in the coming months, a review of the accreditation of undergraduate medical education programs in Iran has identified both opportunities and threats with regard to the 2 previous rounds. The prediction of the third round will not result in quality assurance or improvement for medical schools if the aforementioned opportunities and threats are not carefully examined. This is due in part to a misinterpretation of the nature of accreditation, which is an expertise model, where expertise is the matter of competence, competency, knowledge, skills, and attitude that must be examined in compliance with the well-organized criteria.
