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 Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine (CAQSM) is administered by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) and cosponsored by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM), the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is a qualifying board for the CAQSM. This article reviews the history of the blueprint development for the CAQSM certification examination. This article will also overview the methodology behind the creation of a new sports medicine certification blueprint. The redesign of the blueprint reflects the evolving practice of sports medicine. The intent was to develop an approach that would ensure that the sports medicine examination is relevant and reflects current practice of the subspecialty. Additionally, this blueprint will help guide the assembly of both the sports medicine certification examination and, eventually, a sports medicine certification longitudinal assessment. The new blueprint should provide more statistical precision and be more clinically relevant.
