Geriatrics Fellows Learning Online And Together (Geri-a-FLOAT): A sustainable model of learning and support.
Article in Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundGeriatrics Fellows Learning Online And Together (Geri-a-FLOAT) is a virtual curriculum designed to convene fellows nationwide for learning and peer support. This paper presents the expansion and evaluation of the program from the "Wave 1" pilot to the "Wave 2" year-long curriculum.
methodsKern's six-step approach to curriculum development was used to develop the Wave 2 curriculum. Participation was collected via Zoom. Post-session web-based surveys evaluated participant satisfaction regarding speaker, content, and overall session quality; intent-to-change; and a free-response section. A one-year follow-up survey sent to participants with valid e-mail addresses assessed sustained knowledge, skills, and behavior change.
resultsNineteen sessions were held with mean (SD) of 23 (13) participants per session, totaling 182 unique participants. Fifteen of 19 sessions were evaluated with 96 evaluations completed (mean [SD] 6 [4] evaluations per session). Mean (SD) ratings per session that were excellent or above average was 100% (0) for content, 99% (4) for speaker, and 99% (4) overall. Mean (SD) evaluations per session noting intent to change was 90% (14). Respondents reported helpful aspects as sharing resources and examples, perspectives and experiences of others, professional connections, and collaborative discussion. Of 127 participants with valid e-mail addresses, 40 (response rate = 31%) completed the one-year follow-up survey. Mean (SD) respondents reporting some or significant sustained impact was 89% (7) across all learning outcomes.
conclusionsThis virtual, national curriculum for geriatrics fellows was well-received and associated with high rates of self-reported, sustained impact one-year post curriculum. Geri-a-FLOAT may be a model to standardize education and build collaboration and peer support across a discipline.
