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

Introduction: Despite the effectiveness of opioid agonist therapy (OAT) for treating patients with opioid use disorder (OUD), insufficient education remains a barrier to prescribing. Internal medicine (IM) residents are optimally positioned to facilitate use of OAT, especially in the inpatient setting. We implemented an educational intervention aimed at increasing IM residents' knowledge and confidence regarding prescribing OAT to inpatients with OUD. Methods: We created a 35-minute, case-based presentation highlighting the management of opioid withdrawal using OAT and treating pain in inpatients on maintenance OAT. It was presented to IM residents beginning their general medicine ward rotations from November 2019 through January 2020. We developed a survey to measure participants' knowledge (mean number of questions correct out of five) and confidence (mean Likert-scale score, 1 = Results: Of 103 unique residents completing ward rotations, 29 (28%) completed both the pre- and 1-month postsurveys and were included in the analysis. The mean number of knowledge questions correct increased from 3.1 pre- to 4.3 postintervention, and mean confidence scores increased from below 2 pre- to over 3 postintervention in four of five items ( Discussion: A brief, generalizable, educational intervention significantly increased residents' knowledge of and confidence in prescribing OAT in inpatients with OUD.
