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

backgroundAcute fingertip injuries are common. Providers in rural and underserved areas often transfer these patients due to lack of comfort and skill with treating these injuries. Current learners prefer short and high-density educational material. It is unknown if basic hand procedures can be taught using ultrashort training videos. This study investigates whether fingertip repair can be taught using a 60-second educational video viewed immediately prior to performing the procedure.

methodsA standardized cadaveric fingertip injury model was developed. Twenty-three emergency medicine residents each having minimal experience with fingertip injury repair were randomized into one of three study arms: A) no video, B) standard-length (8-minute) video, and C) ultrashort (60-second) video. Each subject was presented with an injured cadaveric finger and asked to prepare for and perform the repair within a 30-minute time frame. The repair was graded on a 10-point scale following a standard rubric. Time to completion, preparedness, and subjects' confidence were also assessed. Results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

resultsMean repair scores for the standard-length video group (9.5 ± 0.3) and the ultrashort video group (9.2 ± 0.3) were significantly higher than those of the no video group (4.0 ± 0.3,

conclusionA 60-second educational video viewed immediately prior to performing a fingertip injury repair can effectively teach an emergency medicine resident to correctly perform the procedure.
