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

Background The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) of the United States requires all programs to evaluate faculty performance annually. Multiple universities require all faculty to be reviewed annually. These high-stakes evaluations should be reliable. When one anesthesiologist is said to perform better than another, there should be neither frequent Type I errors (i.e., an anesthesiologist is determined to perform better or worse than average when their performance is average) nor Type II errors (i.e., failure to detect above or below average performance)
