Effectiveness of the application of a digitalized repository on the quality of graduate and post-graduate education in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. 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
Background: During last ten years, we have developed a digital library with educational materials in Physical medicine and rehabilitation. Objectives: The objective of current article is the preparation of an electronic library with educational materials in the area of physical medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and the comparative evaluation of the impact of this repository on the quality of education of students and trainees in the field. Methodology: The electronic library includes e-books on different topics, elements of the specialty "Physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM)" or Physiatry - with theoretical data, practical issues and case reports with videos of real patients. From the field of basic physiatry we included: books on kinesiological and pathokinesiological analysis, functional evaluation; physiotherapy (active exercises, soft-tissue techniques), ergotherapy (activities), balneotherapy (mineral baths and peloids, underwater gymnastics), manual therapy (tractions, mobilizations, manipulations), preformed physical factors (electric currents, magnetic field, ultrasound, light, laser, etc). In special physiatry we prepared manuals on: neurological and neurosurgical rehabilitation, orthopedic and traumatologic rehabilitation, rheumatologic rehabilitation, cardiac and cardiosurgical rehabilitation, etc. The digital library has been applied to educate 1,186 learners (graduate and post-graduate studies): students in Bachelor's degree (Physiotherapy, Nursing, Midwifery, Medical assistants) and in Master's degree (Physiotherapy, Medical rehabilitation and balneology), medical doctors-residents in Physical and Rehabilitation medicine (PRM), participants in long-life learning courses (physiatrists, physiotherapists and nurses). At the end of every educational course, we collected data from the practical and theoretical exams (investigation period-from April 2020 to October 2024). Additionally, we evaluated learners' opinion using anonymous questionnaires on the usefulness of the electronic library. Results: Comparative analysis of the results revealed significant improvement in theoretical knowledge and practical skills of students and trainees, as evidenced by online assessments, and face-to-face theoretical and practical exams. The majority of learners consider the electronic repository useful. Conclusion and recommendations: The authors consider this electronic library (with books, manuals, video-presentations and case studies) a valuable resource in both graduate and post-graduate education within the rehabilitation field. We recommend the application of electronic repositories in the process of education of the students and trainees.
