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

One reason for the alarming closure of rural obstetric units is a shortage of rural obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns). Given that rural training influences future practice location, our institution initiated the first rural track for obstetrics and gynecology residents in 2017 to create a pathway for rural ob-gyns. The Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education procedure volume outcomes for the initial 5 years of the rural track were compared with the traditional main track. All residents exceeded required procedure minimums in each year. Compared with the main track, the rural track demonstrated lower numbers of operative deliveries, abortion procedures, and transvaginal ultrasonograms but higher vaginal hysterectomy numbers. These data provide evidence that rural tracks in obstetrics and gynecology can maintain procedure volumes while offering critical structured rural exposure for residents.
