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

backgroundPalliative care is an important component of global oncology care, and palliative surgical oncology is becoming an increasingly significant part of surgical oncology practice. Fellows in complex general surgical oncology (CGSO) can anticipate palliative surgical oncology to represent approximately 25-30% of their practice. As such, education in this area is critical during CGSO Fellowship to properly prepare the trainees to enter their practice. Unfortunately, there is evidence to suggest the training in surgical palliative care is not as deliberate as necessary to achieve these training goals.

methodsWe have developed a palliative surgical oncology rotation that is meant to address gaps in the training of CGSO Fellows. We have followed Kern's six-step approach to curriculum development.

resultsThis manuscript outlines our steps and the approach we have used in this rotation. The rotation outline is aligned with competencies and learning objectives.

conclusionImplementation of a structured palliative care rotation can be implemented in a CGSO training program. This rotation outline is a starting point for our program and can stimulate innovation to address this important learning opportunity.
