A Novel Refractory Mood Disorders and Electroconvulsive Therapy Elective for Medical Students: Fighting Stigma through Experience.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Treatment resistant mood disorders (TRMD) have a significant impact on patients and society. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been shown to be effective for treatment resistant depression (TRD). Despite the effectiveness and safety of ECT, there remains significant stigma surrounding its use. Studies worldwide have shown that many medical students receive their knowledge from the media, which often portrays ECT in a negative light, and very few have exposure to ECT prior to their psychiatric clinical rotations. In this article we highlight the importance of medical education and introduce a novel approach in helping to fight the stigma of ECT through educational intervention for medical trainees that combines active, longitudinal and theoretical learning. By ensuring that trainees have a robust education in this arena, we can help them educate patients about treatment options, improve confidence in prescribing and administering these therapies, and ultimately improve patient and societal outcomes.
