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

The McGill Healthcare-Management Case Competition was developed to increase exposure and understanding of medical learners to operations management and quality improvement. The case competition was designed and implemented based on Kern's curriculum development framework focusing on experiential learning and case-based gamification. Informed by the Medical Council of Canada's objectives, it enabled participants to critically analyze real-world healthcare operations and associated challenges. Evaluation of the effectiveness of case competition using Kirkpatrick's model (level 1 and 2) demonstrated significant improvements in participants' perceived knowledge, comfort, and confidence addressing quality improvement issues and management of flow and overcrowding. The McGill Healthcare-Management Case Competition is an educational innovation that represents a curricular tool for integrating healthcare operations management and quality improvement education into medical training.
