National resident survey in dermatopathology: The role of slide scanners in resident learning.
Article in Journal of cutaneous pathology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDermatology residents gain exposure to dermatopathology through a variety of educational modalities. While virtual pathology applications have risen dramatically, resident utilization of digital libraries, slide scanner availability, and comfort with virtual slides are not well-known. This study aims to assess the current landscape of educational resources used by dermatology residents.
methodsA 17-question survey was sent to dermatology residents through a national email database. The survey was a self-assessment of their experience in dermatopathology education and the use of departmental slide scanners.
resultsThe use of digital dermatopathology is high among trainees, despite only half of respondents reporting slide scanner access. Residents report using virtual images more often in non-clinical dermatopathology didactics and independent studies compared to clinical dermatopathology rotations. Public slide set use was common, while professional society and departmental slide sets may be underutilized. Over half of respondents report being extremely or very comfortable navigating interactive scanned slides.
conclusionsSurvey data suggests digital slides are currently predominantly used in non-clinical dermatopathology rotations and independent studies. Incorporation of slide scanners into departments may benefit resident education through the development of high-quality, curated departmental slide sets.
