Creating a mobile subject guide to improve access to point-of-care resources for medical students: a case study.
Article in Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
questionCan a mobile optimized subject guide facilitate medical student access to mobile point-of-care tools?
settingThe guide was created at a library at a research-intensive university with six teaching hospital sites.
objectivesThe team created a guide facilitating medical student access to point-of-care tools directly on mobile devices to provide information allowing them to access and set up resources with little assistance.
methodsTwo librarians designed a mobile optimized subject guide for medicine and conducted a survey to test its usefulness.
resultsWeb analytics and survey results demonstrate that the guide is used and the students are satisfied.
conclusionThe library will continue to use the subject guide as its primary means of supporting mobile devices. It remains to be seen if the mobile guide facilitates access for those who do not need assistance and want direct access to the resources. Internet access in the hospitals remains an issue.
