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: Emergency medicine (EM) training programs vary in how residents are exposed to clinical responsibilities. Transitioning to new roles often causes stress and uncertainty. Structured orientation programs may alleviate these challenges. Methods: We implemented three role-specific orientation sessions targeting post-graduate year (PGY)-2, PGY-3, and PGY-4 EM residents at a 4-year residency program. Pre- and post-surveys measured comfort with clinical, supervisory, and system-based skills. Paired Results: All three orientation sessions significantly improved self-reported comfort across various domains. Participating PGY-2 residents ( Conclusion: Structured orientation improves EM resident readiness for role transitions. These findings support the integration of targeted educational interventions to enhance performance and preparedness.
