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

Point of care pediatric musculoskeletal POCUS scanning and scoring protocols for childhood arthritis have emerged in recent years. However, pediatric musculoskeletal POCUS curricula in rheumatology fellowship programs are limited due to availability of trained faculty and resources. This proof-of-concept study investigated the effectiveness of educational methods for a pediatric musculoskeletal POCUS scoring protocol among fellows and physicians of differing subspecialties. Educational methods assessed included recorded videos and virtual review sessions. Effectiveness was assessed by calculating interrater reliability for the musculoskeletal POCUS scoring systems using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Following training sessions, participants then underwent scoring exercise(s) until the goal of an excellent ICC ≥ 0.75 was reached. Four participants completed two rounds of virtual education, review, and scoring sessions. Excellent interrater reliability was achieved for most views. This proof-of-concept study demonstrated virtual education covering advanced concepts of pediatric musculoskeletal POCUS provides a knowledge base for physicians from different subspecialties and various experience.
