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
problem addressedFamily medicine residency programs need to incorporate ongoing training in the CanMEDS-Family Medicine scholar role. OBJECTIVE OF PROGRAM: To teach and reinforce evidence-based, point-of-care search skills in family medicine residents through involvement of a clinical librarian at morning report. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: A clinical librarian session is run weekly during morning report while residents rotate through a family medicine-run inpatient unit. An evidence-based model emphasizing preappraised sources for point-of-care searching of clinical questions is introduced, and residents have an opportunity to answer their own clinical questions. Feedback suggests most residents find the sessions affect their practices positively and increase their use of evidence-based, preappraised point-of-care resources.
conclusionIncorporating a clinical librarian in evidence-based medicine sessions enhances family medicine residents' competencies in the CanMEDS-Family Medicine scholar role.
