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

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed tremendous strain on medical education and prevented multiple in-person activities like specialty interest group meetings. Specialty interest groups are important resources for students interested in competitive fields like otolaryngology where they may find mentoring, research opportunities, and teaching sessions. To allow continued meetings despite COVID-19, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center otolaryngology interest group transitioned to virtual meetings and added student-led didactic sessions. Most students who participated found the virtual didactic sessions helpful and appreciated the opportunity to practice presenting cases. Students were able to network with residents and faculty members, resulting in 60% of participants finding involvement in research projects. Virtual meetings allowed the participation of students from multiple institutions. Participants agreed that the networking, teaching, and research opportunities presented by the virtual sessions made them better applicants for otolaryngology residency. This study provides a framework for transitioning specialty interest group meetings to a virtual platform while adding student-led didactic sessions.
