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

Introduction: An online Preceptor Development Program (PDP) was developed to meet the needs of geographically dispersed preceptors across health professions. We aimed to measure the audience, their engagement, and effectiveness of an online PDP developed and implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The mixed methods study included survey and attendance data for live and asynchronous formats. Results: Participants engaged in live and/or asynchronous PDP sessions from various professions, specialties, and geographical locations. Quantitative findings indicated significant associations between overall session perception and knowledge (session 2), competence (sessions 1, 2), and performance (session 1). Objectives were met, and key learning takeaways were reported. While most participants indicated no barriers to implementation, two barriers identified were a lack of time and uninterested students. Conclusion: Participants were afforded flexibility and choice and likely benefitted in the areas of knowledge, competence, and behavior. This online PDP effectively addressed preceptor needs in common areas, including feedback. Future program development may include advisory group input and interactive learning opportunities.
