Smart glasses and video conferencing provide valuable medical student clinical exposure during COVID-19.
Article in AEM education and training, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundResponses to the COVID-19 pandemic impose significant limitations on clinical education in emergency medicine.
methodsAn emergency physician with smart glasses technology (SGT) was deployed into our emergency department (ED) to identify, enable, and curate a remote ED clinical learning experience for preclinical medical students in lieu of onsite shadowing. Students were assigned to one of four (2-h) sessions in May or June 2020.
resultsAll 22 students participated remotely and responded to postrotation surveys. Feedback showed enthusiastic acceptance by instructors and students. Difficulty with technology was minimal. All students "strongly agreed" that they would participate in future sessions.
conclusionsThis SGT instructional method represents a feasible and effective strategy to expose preclinical medical students to clinical medicine in the ED.
