Preparing for Practice: A Comparative Analysis of Anesthesiology Residency Competencies in Brazil, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of equipping medical specialists from various fields with anesthesiology skills that are essential for medical practice, such as managing acute and chronic pain, preventing substance dependence, caring for critically ill patients, and ensuring airway security. This study analyzes the presence of these anesthesiology competencies in the curricular frameworks of medical residency programs in Brazil, Spain, and the United Kingdom, all of which have universal healthcare systems, to assess how effectively these programs prepare future specialists with these crucial skills. Methods: We analyzed curriculum frameworks for medical residency programs and specializations in all 3 countries, focusing on anesthesiology competencies. All relevant documents, available on official government websites, were reviewed between July 1, 2023 and December 28, 2024, using Kripka's methodology. Results: Significant differences were found in competencies related to stratifying anesthetic-surgical risk ( Conclusions: This study identified a potential gap in resident training for crucial skills such as pain management, sedation, airway management, and hemodynamic monitoring. These are essential for high-complexity procedures. The findings suggest a need for curriculum revisions and potentially an increase in specialty program slots focused on caring for critically ill patients.
