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

backgroundThe Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Surgical Training (INVEST) curriculum was developed to introduce surgical residents to basic concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. The INVEST curriculum involves a series of 4 academic sessions teaching pillars of surgical innovation and entrepreneurship: identifying needs, value assessment, exploring feasibility, and telling a story. We prospectively examined participant perceptions before and after the INVEST curriculum.

methodsThis longitudinal survey study included consecutive surgical trainees in their first year of training across 9 surgical specialties who partook in the INVEST curriculum at McMaster University. The primary outcome was change in perceived ability to succeed in achieving meaningful contributions to surgical innovation. Change in willingness to complete future training in surgical innovation was a secondary outcome. We used McNemar tests and Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank tests to analyze differences in pre- and postcourse data.

resultsForty-seven residents attended the INVEST sessions and 36 completed both the pre- and post-INVEST surveys (76.6%). The mean age of respondents was 27.0 years and 53.2% were female. Resident confidence in health care innovation and entrepreneurship knowledge improved 2.2-fold (14.9% to 33.3%,

conclusionParticipants' self-perceived ability to partake in entrepreneurial exploits increased following completion of the INVEST curriculum. Similar to training curricula in research, entrepreneurship education sparked interest in some, while decreasing interest in others. Early exposure to entrepreneurship in surgical training may help residents identify opportunities for investment of time.
