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

Tele-education systems are increasingly being utilized in medical education worldwide. Due to limited human resources in healthcare in low and middle-income countries, developing online systems that are accessible to medical trainees in underserved areas potentially represents a highly efficient and effective method of improving the quantity and quality of the health care workforce. We developed, implemented, and evaluated an interactive web-based tele-education system (based on internationally accepted, image-based guidelines) for the diagnosis of retinopathy of prematurity among ophthalmologists-in-training in Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines. We demonstrate that participation in this tele-education program improved diagnostic accuracy and reliability, and was preferred to standard pedagogical methods. This system may be employed not only in training, but also in international certification programs, and the process may be generalizable to other image-based specialties, such as dermatology and radiology.
