Review in Medical science educator, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Introduction: While the use of e-learning tools in medical education is guided by robust literature on their design and evaluation, there is sparse literature on strategies that maximize their adoption among trainees. Methods: In this scoping review, we searched Web of Science for studies on technology adoption theories as applied to education, using a final censoring date of August 1, 2021. Results: Based on our findings, we identified three representative theories: (1) technology acceptance model, (2) technology adoption life cycle, and (3) domestication theory. Discussion: We describe these theories in detail, examine their prior applications, and propose specific uses within medical e-learning.
