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

backgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic forced residency programs to adapt teaching to the virtual arena. Objective Structured Teaching Exercises (OSTEs) are a simulation-based session we previously implemented in our in-person pediatric curriculum. We aimed to assess feasibility of and resident satisfaction with the transition to virtual learning for simulation-based OSTEs.

methodsThe pediatrics residency program at our hospital has a weekly academic half-day for residents where the OSTEs were held annually in person 2018 to 2019 and virtually in 2020. Surveys were collected from participating residents and faculty to compare teaching experience, feedback quality, and satisfaction with the session.

resultsOver 3 academic years, there were 159 total teaching sessions, 3 of which were OSTEs. The OSTE session was highly rated each year and was the second highest rated virtual session. Residents felt the OSTEs improved their teaching regardless of the virtual versus in-person platform (P = .77), and the quality of feedback as rated by the resident teacher was higher for virtual sessions (P < .001).

conclusionsTransitioning the OSTE to a virtual platform was both feasible and effective when compared to the in-person OSTE. In the transition to virtual learning, educators should consider opportunities for simulation-based teaching such as OSTEs.
