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

objectiveThe ideal length of podcasts for undergraduate medical education is unclear. Although many medical schools post full-lecture podcast recordings, there is increasing evidence that podcasts of shorter duration may be a more effective educational tool. Data on podcast utilization for psychiatry education in particular remain limited. This study aimed to compare traffic statistics (views and downloads) of both moderate- and long-duration podcasts.

methodsResident-driven, 5- to 15-min, moderate-duration audiovisual podcasts ("summary podcasts") were created to supplement the existing full-lecture podcast recordings ("long podcasts") during the 22-day University of Calgary medical school pre-clerkship psychiatry curriculum from November to December 2019. The authors compared traffic statistics including number of views and downloads of summary podcasts against long podcasts.

resultsSix lectures during the curriculum had both long podcasts and summary podcasts available to students. Overall, there was no statistically significant difference between the mean combined views and downloads of the summary podcasts compared to the long podcasts. When looking at views and downloads across the span of the curriculum, the long podcasts were predominantly accessed in the days following the lecture, with the summary podcasts being accessed more frequently in the days preceding the final examination.

conclusionsThis study suggests that both long podcasts and summary podcasts were accessed by students. The differing patterns of when each type of podcast was accessed may indicate a preference for the summary podcasts being used as review tools, rather than as a primary means of learning the material.
