Impact of a Dedicated Research Rotation during Ophthalmology Residency.
Article in Journal of academic ophthalmology (2017), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires that ophthalmology residents participate in scholarly activity during residency. However, residents lack protected time for research.
objectiveTo determine the impact of a dedicated research rotation on scholarly productivity and research experience during residency.
methodsThis cohort study compared two groups of ophthalmology residents. Residents who graduated between 2004-2009 did not have dedicated research time and served as control residents (CR) while residents who graduated between 2010-2015 had a dedicated research rotation and served as the intervention group (research residents, RR). Primary outcomes included publications and presentations recorded over a four-year period, spanning the three years of residency and first year after graduation. These were analyzed by linear regression and t-tests. Residents also took surveys regarding research experience and chi squared tests and logistic regression were used to compare these results.
resultsThe RR had 0.97 more publications and 1.3 more presentations compared to the CR after adjusting for PhD status, pre-residency publications and presentations, age at graduation, gender and race (p=0.09 and p=0.02, respectively). RR had higher odds of reporting adequate time to complete research (OR=13.11, 95% CI 3.58-48.03, p < 0.001) and satisfaction with their research experience (OR=6.96, 95% CI=2.104-23.053, p=0.002).
conclusionsResidents with a research rotation had more time to complete research, were more satisfied with their research experience, and generated more publications and presentations compared to residents without the research rotation. A research rotation can help meet ACGME requirements and help residents achieve greater scholarly activity.
