Clinical Confidence, Certification, and Connectedness: Impact of a Journal Club for Inpatient Psychiatry Faculty.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionInpatient psychiatry faculty manage complex clinical, administrative, and legal issues amid increasing mental health service utilization rates, limiting time for (1) focusing on lifelong learning and (2) connecting. We examined the impact of a monthly journal club on inpatient psychiatry faculty's (1) confidence that their practice is evidence informed, (2) stress related to board recertification, and (3) sense of connectedness with peers.
methodsWe employed a primarily qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews and brief survey questions to elicit input from inpatient psychiatry faculty at an academic medical center on their experience participating in a monthly journal club, including perceived changes in one's practice of evidence-based medicine, recertification stress, and connectedness with peers.
resultsThirteen faculty who participated in the journal club responded to at least one survey or interview. Many faculty reported feeling more confident that their clinical practice was evidence informed, less stressed about board recertification, and more connected to peers at 6 and 12 months following the commencement of the journal club. Following in-person attendance, video-based learning (an innovative method of participating in the journal club) was found to be the second most preferred method of participation among respondents. All respondents noted that the journal club was a valuable use of their time and enjoyable.
conclusionA monthly journal club has the potential to increase hospital psychiatry faculty confidence in evidence-based clinical practice, reduce board recertification stress, and improve sense of peer connectedness. Future research should examine the journal club experience and impact among a larger number of faculty and incorporate additional measures of learning outcomes.
