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: COVID-19 led to rapid innovations in continuing professional development (CPD). We surveyed Canadian Psychiatry CPD directors to understand the pandemic's impact and to identify effective practices. Methods: In fall 2021, an online 31-item survey was created iteratively based on discussions among CPD educators and disseminated to CPD program leaders at 17 Canadian medical schools through the Council of Psychiatry Continuing Education (COPCE). We collected information on each CPD program, adaptations associated with pandemic restrictions, and intentions regarding future delivery of CPD. Results: Nine responses were received. COVID-19 led to a shift to virtual CPD delivery, with creative and transformative strategies to maintain engagement and online security. Virtual CPD was associated with an increase in attendance and decrease in costs. Many respondents anticipated that virtual or hybrid modalities would continue post-COVID-19. Conclusion: The pandemic led to a pivot to virtual delivery of Psychiatry CPD programming. Hybrid delivery will likely be the prevalent mode of future CPD programming, requiring more technological, financial, and human resources to tackle potential challenges. In times of rapid adaptation, a national network of CPD directors can provide an important venue for knowledge exchange about innovations and effective practices and build capacity of expertise.
