Journal clubs in the digital age: Twitter for continuing professional development.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 departmental journal club (JC) is a well-established form of continuing professional development (CPD). Social media offers a range of interactive online platforms, allowing the traditional JC to move from a formal educational meeting with local health professionals to a digital platform with users across the world. The authors created the General Internal Medicine JC (@GIMJClub) on Twitter and following a year of activity retrospectively analysed the participation and impact of this medium of JC delivery. There were 61 different participants across different continents, specialties and levels who participated in the 12 JC sessions and sent 1,543 tweets in total. Factors that appeared to influence the success of an individual JC session included choosing diverse, topical papers to discuss and a wide range of hosts. This work demonstrates the success of a Twitter-based general internal medicine JC for CPD. @GIMJClub facilitated unique and diverse interactions not otherwise available.
