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

Background: High learner engagement is important for the success of asynchronous and online learning for graduate medical education. Medical trainees have recently reported using medical mobile apps. App-based interactions may provide more participation than email-based interactions. We sought to investigate (1) if there were higher levels of engagement with an online curriculum using notifications sent via email as compared with via text, and (2) if there were higher levels of engagement with the mobile app or website format. Methods: We implemented an online Journal Club curriculum with weekly topics for anesthesiology residents (postgraduate years 2-4) from July 2020 to June 2021. Weekly notifications were sent to residents via email for weeks 1-10, text for weeks 11-20, then email for weeks 21-49. Based on activity logs, we compared (1) the weekly numbers of interactions when email notifications were sent with the weekly numbers of interactions when text notifications were sent, and (2) the weekly numbers of interactions via the app with the weekly numbers of interactions via the website. Results: Thirty-eight of the 54 anesthesiology residents in our department at the time of the study (70.4%) interacted with the online Journal Club at least once throughout the study. The weekly numbers of interactions with email notifications (median [interquartile range (IQR)]: 13 [7-28]) were significantly higher than with text notifications (median [IQR]: 6 [4-8]) ( Conclusions: Although mobile technology may increase engagement and participation for some educational resources, learners may prefer accessing others through more conventional methods.
