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

aimThis cluster-based randomised control trial examines the comparative efficacy of two eLearning programs that teach clinicians evidence-based bronchiolitis management for children less than 12 months of age.

methodsSix hospitals, matched for size, were randomly allocated to either video-based (arm A) or slide-based (arm B) eLearning programs. To assess behavioural change, participants (doctors and nurses) were asked to declare how they would manage a video scenario of an infant with bronchiolitis, before and after either eLearning method. Measured outcomes included the number of investigations and treatments ordered, admissions to hospital and discharge planning. Confidence scores and change in understanding for bronchiolitis management were also measured.

resultsBoth methods of eLearning instruction resulted in reductions in unnecessary investigations and treatments performed, as well as improved confidence and understanding of bronchiolitis management on the video scenario. Video-based eLearning instruction additionally demonstrated a significant reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions and better discharge planning, based on learners' declarations to the video scenario, relative to slide-based learning.

conclusionSlide-based and video-based eLearning both demonstrate improvements in reported bronchiolitis management. However, video-based eLearning may yield more significant practice changes, improved clinician confidence in management, as well as improved patient experience.
