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

Purpose: Physiotherapists need to develop strong business acumen to make informed decisions, drive positive outcomes, and thrive in their practice. Competencies in these areas are partially reflected in the Method: We undertook a modified Delphi study. An online call for participants was circulated via the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's Private Practice and Leadership Divisions, Canadian provincial and territorial physiotherapy regulators, and 15 Canadian university physiotherapy programmes. Individuals in the profession with known expertise in management and/or business were also invited to participate. Results: Two rounds of the Delphi were necessary to reach consensus. Forty-one participants were included in the first round of Delphi including academics, regulators, registered physiotherapists, and senior students. Twenty-one (51%) participated in round 2 of the study. Sixty-six ETP BPM foundational curriculum competencies, within nine domains, reached consensus (via the Delphi process). Conclusions: Consideration of the ETP competencies in the areas of business and practice management derived with this national Delphi process may enhance and harmonize the physiotherapy curricula across Canada.
