Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Application Process: What Can We Learn?
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
introductionThe goal of this study was to assess the influence of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on the orthopaedic surgery residency application process in the 2020 to 2021 application cycle.
methodsA survey was administered to the program directors of 152 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited orthopaedic surgery residency programs. The following questions were assessed: virtual rotations, open houses/meet and greet events, social media, the selection criteria of applicants, the number of applications received by programs, and the number of interviews offered by programs.
resultsSeventy-eight (51%) orthopaedic residency programs responded to the survey. Of those, 25 (32%) offered a virtual away rotation, and 57 (75%) held virtual open houses or meet and greet events. Thirteen of these programs (52%) reported virtual rotations as either "extremely important" or "very important." A 355% increase was observed in social media utilization by residency programs between the 2019 to 2020 and 2020 to 2021 application cycles, with more programs finding social media to be "extremely helpful" or "very helpful" for recruiting applicants in 2020 to 2021 compared with the previous year (39% versus 10%, P < 0.001).
conclusionAlthough many of the changes seen in the 2020 to 2021 application cycle were implemented by necessity, some of these changes were beneficial and may continue to be used in future application cycles.
