1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Point of care ultrasound is important to the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions commonly seen in practice. However, across Canada, resident education of sonoanatomy skills is variable. There remain no standards in terms of how ultrasound is taught as part of the residency curriculum as set by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. As such, residents are often required to find their own educational opportunities. This report describes an alternative approach to learning these skills that was inspired by disruption due to coronavirus disease 2019 in first year residency. This report explores how a PM&R resident was able to develop valuable ultrasound skills from home using not only textbooks and videos, but also new and novel teleguidance technology, namely an ultrasound probe that connects to a clinician's own smart devices to display images.
