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

The need to minimize in-person interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to fewer clinical learning opportunities for trainees. With ongoing utilization of virtual platforms for resident education, efforts to maximize their value are essential. Herein we describe a resident-led quality improvement initiative to optimize remote contouring and virtual contour review. From April to June 2020, radiation oncology (RO) residents at our institution were assigned modified duties. We implemented a program to source and assign cases to residents for remote contouring and to promote and optimize virtual contour review. Resident-perceived educational value was prospectively collected and analyzed. All nine RO residents at our institution (PGY1-5) participated, and 97 cases were contoured during the evaluation period. Introduction of the Remote Contouring and Virtual Review (RECOVR) program coincided with a significant increase in mean cases contoured per week, from 5.5 to 17.3 (
