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

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is now a common mode of educational delivery within medical education. Despite this upsurge, there remains a paucity in comprehensive evaluation of TEL efficacy. In order to make meaningful and evidence-informed decisions on 'how' and 'when' to utilise technology within a course, 'useful knowledge' is required to support faculty in these decision-making processes. In this monograph, a series of pragmatic and achievable approaches for conducting a holistic evaluation of a TEL resource intervention are detailed. These suggestions are based on an established TEL evaluation framework, as well as the author's own experience and that of the broader literature. The approaches cover development of an appropriate research question that is based on the availability of existing TEL resources alongside the peer-reviewed literature; the development of an appropriate team as well as recommendations for navigating ethical approval; conducting small-scale quantitative and qualitative measure; and performing a large-scale mixed methods assessment to understand the holistic impact of the TEL resource.
