Evaluation of Emergency Medicine Residency Programs' use of social media in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected the ability of residency programs and applicants to interact using traditional methods of in-person interviews and visiting rotations. We examined the social media presence of emergency medicine (EM) residency training programs and how programs responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThe Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) identified EM residency programs that participated in the 2021 match. Programs were reviewed for the presence of a website and social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, as well as foundation date. Data were collected after the ERAS application deadline.
resultsAll programs, except one, had some sort of online presence. A total of 258 websites and 476 social media accounts were identified. The majority of programs maintained an account on Twitter (75%), Instagram (61%), or Facebook (38%). Most Twitter and Facebook accounts were established before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, 46% of Instagram accounts were created after March 1, 2020. During 2020, there was a 34% increase in total social media account development, higher than in previous years.
conclusionEM residency training programs have a robust online presence. Account development continued to grow in 2020, after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and growth on Instagram was noted to be substantial. Interactions through online platforms may supplement the residency application process, but their efficacy is unclear.
