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 International Federation for Emergency Medicine (IFEM) has developed model curricula for undergraduate education, graduate education and continuing professional development in Emergency Medicine. Graduate education is delivered in various settings, including training sites based in a clinical Emergency Department. In order to ensure the quality of the training that is delivered at these sites, mature training systems have a system that accredits these sites for training purposes. This paper presents a model framework for this accreditation process that may be used by national societies to develop their own process. This paper also includes a comparison of this framework with the accreditation standards of established programs in IFEM member societies.
