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

Ultrasonography has become a valuable procedural guide and diagnostic tool across many medical specialties. A 2017 descriptive cross-sectional survey at Memorial University of Newfoundland found that there was support to integrate preclinical and clinical applications of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) into the undergraduate medical anatomy curriculum. Unlike previous studies that have focused on scanning a single body system, our group utilized a station-based model that allowed medical students to scan several different body systems throughout the year. Our experience in creating the syllabus, collecting feedback, and creating multiple choice assessment questions will be useful to other educators who may wish to integrate POCUS into their curriculum.
