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 satisfaction of ophthalmology residents depends on various factors, such as the working environment, structured training, surgical training, working hours, and the work-life balance. The extent to which the situation is currently adapted to the needs of young colleagues was the subject of this study.

methodsA total of 1356 medical colleagues in specialist training were invited to answer a 16-question online questionnaire distributed via the German Society of Ophthalmology. Data were collected on demographics, structuring of training, and expectations of good education. In addition to a descriptive evaluation, variance analyses were carried out.

resultsOf the invited ophthalmology residents, 343 (25.3%) took part in the survey (64.7% female, 34.9% male). Of these respondents, 42.9% were employed at a university hospital, 23.9% at a non-university hospital, and 33.2% in a private practice. According to the majority of respondents, the most important factors for good training were clinical training (90.4%) and the leadership behavior of supervisors (66.4%). In contrast, pay and adherence to working hours were seen as less important factors. The majority (59.1%) of respondents stated that there were no structured guidelines for further training in their organizations. Training in laser treatments was provided to 91.7% of participants, training in intravitreal drug administration to 63.1%, and training in eyelid and extraocular surgery to 44.3%. Training in intraocular surgery was provided to 13.5% of participants.

conclusionThe present data collection shows once again that the achievement of the objectives of the specialist catalogue is of decisive importance for satisfied and successful specialist training. Furthermore, the majority of respondents denied the existence of structured specialist training, which underscores the need for a standardized curriculum.
