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

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if implementation of a new educational curriculum focusing on Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Resilience improved second year medical student scores in these areas. Methods: Our EI-Resilience curriculum was offered as an elective for second year medical students to voluntarily enroll in. The elective consisted of six 2-hour sessions taught by a single faculty member over eight months. Sessions focused on development of EI skills and teaching a Resilience "PROGRAM" (Positive thinking, Reframing, Optimism, Gratitude, Reflection, Altruism, Meaning). Participants' EI levels were assessed before and after the elective using the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory 2.0 (EQ-i 2.0). Results: Over a period of 2 years, 70 students participated in the elective. The overall mean EI score significantly improved after the educational elective (100.05 ± 12.94 versus 108.14 ±12.36, Conclusion: An EI-Resilience curriculum offered as an elective to second year medical students was well received by students. Our outcomes showed significant improvement in students' EI scores and all sub-scores, including all components of the stress management composite and well-being score. Teaching EI skills and Resilience strategies in the preclinical setting might be an opportune time for this type of educational intervention.
