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

Rapid visual perception of ultrasound (US) images was compared between 1st- and 2nd-year medical students at 2 days or 6 months following ultrasound training, respectively. Briefly, US images were presented for 0.2 s, after which, participants were asked to identify the anatomical structure. Modest accuracy was observed among both cohorts. However, accuracy more than doubled for students that engaged with US outside their formal training. Our study demonstrates: 1) an inexpensive method of assessing rapid visual perception in students of US; and 2) that a combination of formal training and extracurricular engagement leads to greater visual expertise for conventional US.
