How to make an impact in surgical research: a consensus summary from the #SoMe4Surgery community.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Understanding and interpreting medical literature through critical thinking and applying this knowledge to evidence-based practice is an integral part of surgical training. Participating in research accelerates this process; however, young doctors' involvement in research may be suboptimal. Our aim was to provide young surgeons with recommendations on how to properly engage in surgical research. An online twitter conversation focused on recommendations about how a young physician can succeed in research was undertaken. Twitter activity for that conversation and hashtags was analyzed. A consensus based on the recommendations extracted from the discussion is summarized. Key opinion leaders were engaged to promote the conversation. Discussion was opened to all participants related to surgery or surgical research, including surgeons, medical students, nurses, patients, and healthcare workers. A total of 244 participants engaged in the Twitter conversation. The highest tweeted hashtags were #SoMe4Surgery and #SurgicalResearch with 855 and 847 tweets, respectively. Themes that came out of the conversation included 'Mentorship', which was the most essential recommendation. 'International collaboratives' and 'foreign research fellowship' were also deemed important factors for a successful path in research. Additionally, routine read of online journals, use of social media for scientific purposes, often engagement in manuscript drafting and proper time management were also recommended. Research is demanding and time consuming but an essential part of surgical education. We believe that any young surgeon can have greater chances to succeed in surgical research by following our recommendations and by academically using social media platforms.
