How have digital resources been utilised in times of COVID-19? Opinions of medical students based in the United Kingdom.
Article in Canadian medical education journal, 2021. 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
The COVID-19 outbreak halted medical education in its tracks, with medical students across all years finding their upcoming placements and in-person teaching cancelled in a bid to abide to social distancing regulations, for the safety of staff, students and patients alike. As United Kingdom (UK)-based medical students, we have witnessed our medical school's attempts to preserve our education by turning to digital technology, allowing for remote teaching over the four months. This article describes some of the steps taken across the UK to uphold education during such uncertain times and provides an insight into UK medical students' perspectives on the prolonged and increased reliance on learning via digital technology, highlighting perceived benefits and areas for improvement. In doing so, we hope to contribute to the discussion of how digital technology may best be used in medical education in the future.
