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
Participation in Orthogeriatrics TeleECHO was associated with improvement in physicians' knowledge and self-confidence in managing elderly patients with fractures. PURPOSE: To develop and conduct an interactive case-based virtual TeleECHO program to expand the knowledge of healthcare professionals in the field of orthogeriatrics.
methodsThe project included twelve 90-min sessions for physicians and healthcare managers. Each session was based on real clinical cases discussed by the multidisciplinary group of faculty. The efficacy of the project was assessed using questionnaires.
resultsThe attendance of individual sessions ranged from 129 to 224 with the total number of participants 829; 25% of participants were from remote rural regions. A survey conducted at the beginning of the project showed insufficient knowledge and ability to apply the concepts of orthogeriatrics. A final questionnaire showed that 74% of respondents participated in most sessions, with 94% wishing to continue participating in further sessions. There was a statistically significant overall improvement in confidence of caring for fragility fracture patients with an effect size of 0.75 (p<0.001). The proportion of responders who were able to apply their new knowledge in clinical practice shortly after TeleECHO showed a substantial increase (p<0.0001).
conclusionThe Orthogeriatrics TeleECHO program was effective in changing perceptions and self-confidence of the participants, and applying knowledge acquired to patient care. This model of learning could be applied in other countries in other languages to improve post-fracture care worldwide.
