Replacing an 'In-Person' Global Health Annual Conference With a Virtual Format: A Case Study from the Consortium of Universities for Global Health.
Article in Annals of global health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Beginning in 2020, the COVID pandemic disrupted many planned annual meetings that relied on travel to a destination for sharing scholarship, networking, and planning future collaborations. As with many organizations, the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) began exploring the utilization of a virtual platform on which to conduct the annual conference. Objective: We sought to understand the value of conducting an annual conference virtually and to evaluate the added benefit of utilizing a learning management system. Methods: Routinely collected registration data was used for the CUGH 2021 annual conference, which was completely virtual, and compared to in-person registration data from prior years. In addition, tracking and engagement data from a learning management system was reviewed to understand participation. Findings: The virtual conference attracted the greatest number of registrations, from the largest number of countries since the organization began in 2008. Analyzing the engagement of participants with specific sessions through the on-line learning management system allowed a deeper understanding of the popularity and value of topics. Conclusion: A virtual format is an efficient and effective venue for scholarly conferences. The additional information gained from an on-line learning management system can provide valuable information for future conference planning.
