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

objectivesOur objective was to understand the perspectives of current and recently graduated pediatric residents concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent curriculum changes, to their education.

introductionResidency programs have experienced unprecedented alterations to education in the form of changing expectations, schedules, and opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known regarding resident perceptions of how these changes impact their education and ultimate career preparation.

methodsAn anonymous and voluntary electronic IRB exempt survey was sent to pediatric residents at a mid-sized residency program in the mid-Atlantic in August of 2020. This cross-sectional study survey consisted of a series of multiple choice questions with optional short answer responses.

resultsTwenty-two pediatric residents across all training years completed the survey for a response rate of 36%. The majority of residents, 59.1%, were interested in directly caring for COVID + patients; however, the minority (36%) felt prepared to care for COVID + patients. Most residents (63%) responded that graduate medical education programs should not have authority to exclude residents from taking care of patients with certain diagnoses and 95% of respondents indicated that they would prefer an opt out system instead.

conclusionThe majority of resident respondents had a strong interest in caring for COVID + patients and report that they value frequent updates from program leadership to guide their patient care. Residents also overwhelmingly support an opt out system when caring for future patients with particular infectious diagnoses rather than a mandated exclusion approach.
