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
objectiveThis study aims to understand the residency resources used by psychiatry applicants who applied during the first two virtual recruitment seasons, match 2021 and 2022.
methodsBetween January 27, 2022, and February 24, 2022, a non-probabilistic sample of psychiatry residents from the match 2018 through match 2022 cycles were asked to complete a survey via email and social media. Due to the continuation of virtual recruitment post-pandemic, an analysis of psychiatry residents in the match 2021 and 2022 cycles was conducted. Questions assessed the use of recruitment resources, including websites, the Fellowship and Residency Electronic and Interactive Database, virtual open houses, video tours, away rotations, and social media platforms. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses were used.
resultsPsychiatry residents from the match 2021 and 2022 cycles completed the survey (n = 605), with 288 US allopathic medicine doctors (47.6%), 178 (29.4%) international medical graduates, and 139 (23.0%) osteopathic medicine doctors. More than half of respondents (n = 347, 57.4%) reported that the virtual interview season increased the number of programs they intended to apply to. Most respondents (n = 594, 88.3%) reported attending one or more psychiatry virtual open houses and 84.6% (n = 512) followed psychiatry residency programs on at least one social media platform. Program websites were reported to be the most influential digital platform for both applying and ranking.
conclusionUnderstanding the influence of recruitment resources is essential for residents and program leadership to optimize time and resources to assist applicants with their decision-making.
