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

Prevocational doctors face many challenges working in the after-hours inpatient environment. We surveyed prevocational doctors after completing an after-hours term as part of a new After-Hours Care Unit (AHCU) who had previously worked after-hours on an ad hoc basis under the 'traditional' after-hours model of care. Significant improvements were reported in key requirements of the new Australian Medical Council National Framework for prevocational training including education, orientation and supervision, highlighting the advantages of establishing a dedicated AHCU on the prevocational doctor experience.
