Hearing Loss in Children: Critical Medical Education Delivered as Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).

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
Purpose: Although early identification of pediatric hearing loss is crucial, a formal online training course has not been freely accessible to a global audience. In response, we created a novel course for health professionals worldwide. Method: Course development occurred from February 2019 to May 2020. Seventeen multidisciplinary experts provided video lectures and demonstrations, including a tour of ear anatomy, operating footage of cochlear implant insertion, and demonstrations of children undergoing hearing testing. Content also included steps for interpreting audiograms, an overview of early screening programs, interviews with Deaf/Hard of Hearing children, and an introduction to public health/educational infrastructure. The course was hosted on Coursera and launched on May 4, 2020. Results: The course was approved for 11.5 Continuing Medical Education (CME) and American Board of Pediatrics Maintenance of Certification (MOC)-Part 2 credits and spanned five modules comprised of 50 video learning segments: 1) Ear Anatomy, 2) Hearing Loss and Assessments, 3) Hearing Loss Diagnosis and Impact on Speech and Language Development, 4) Interventions for Hearing Loss, 5) Pediatric Vestibular System and Balance. Since its launch, 6,556 learners have enrolled and 1,540 have fully completed the course; Fifty percent were 25-34 years old, 62% were female, and 43% were from Asia. Average rating was 4.9/5 (n=180 reviews). Conclusions: We created a freely accessible course for a global audience that provides a broad overview of pediatric hearing loss. Our multidisciplinary approach addresses an educational gap and can serve as a model for developing other online courses.
