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

Objective: Breaking bad news to the patient is challenging, especially for the physicians and the residents, due to the lack of structured and practical training. This study aimed to design and evaluate a novel virtual instructional design for improving obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) residents breaking bad news skills. Materials and methods: Virtual instructional design was performed based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) from September 2020 to July 2021 at the Department of Ob/Gyn, a referral hospital affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran. Iran. The five steps of ADDIE virtual instructional design were applied sequentially. Results: Totally 33 of the Ob/Gyn residents included in the study that 77% needed specific training. The awareness of the performance of the residents in seven areas including interview context, strategy, planning, professionalism, empathy, knowledge, and receiving information needed to be trained for breaking bad news. The content of the virtual training package was designed based on the prior assessment needs in four multimedia lectures of professors, one short educational video, a 65-page file that combines text and images in 4 parts. The pre-test and post-test mean scores (SD) were 9.45 (2.0) and 10.67 (1.7), respectively (p-value≤0.001) in the cognitive and attitudinal domain. In the final step, the final corrections were made in the virtual training package. Interestingly, the satisfaction of residents' attitudes was 96.5%. Conclusion: Most Ob/Gyn residents do not have the necessary perception and skills to deliver bad news to the patients. Designing an appropriate virtual training package for improving communication skills is associated with satisfaction. Thus, the efficacy of the training program should be implemented for all Ob/Gyn residents.
