Transferring New Physical Therapy Skills from the Weekend to Monday Morning in the Clinic: A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of allied health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Physical therapists (PTs) routinely participate in continuing education (CE) courses with the goal of increasing their knowledge and skills in order to improve quality of care and ultimately patient outcomes. Little has been done to investigate the effect that CE courses have on PT practice. This study assessed whether a CE course series that included review sessions, between-course assignments, and a practical and written examination changed clinician 1) attitudes (i.e., comfort and confidence in working with patients with spinal dysfunctions) and 2) behaviors (i.e., utilization of outcome measures). PTs (n=24) employed by the same hospital system and who enrolled in a CE course series were administered anonymous and voluntary pre-course (n=14) and post-course surveys (n=14). Data on the PTs' use of standardized outcomes for 6 months prior to and after the course series were collected. The number of PTs tracking outcomes went from 6 to 19 of the 24 PTs in the course series, and 14 of the 24 PTs had an overall increase in their comfort and confidence. This pilot study demonstrated a change in clinician behaviors and self-perceived attitudes after a course series that included review sessions, assignments, and examinations.
