Keeping busy learners informed: email is most useful for medical residents!
Article in Canadian medical education journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEducators need to ensure trainees have access to the rotation orientation information they need in the most effective way possible. We wanted to find the best method to distribute this information.
methodsWe provided post-graduate medical trainees rotating through the Pediatric Emergency Medicine program at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Canada, the regular rotation information package three ways: email, online, and paper. We surveyed them to find out which method(s) they used and which they found most useful.
resultsAll trainees were able to access the electronic orientation package via email and most found this method useful. Most also found the paper package distributed at the orientation helpful. Few accessed the online wiki site.
conclusionUsing email is efficient and effective and can save both the time and cost of producing paper packages. The wiki site was not used frequently in our cohort, but may be worth future exploration.
