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

backgroundMedical educators must advance their knowledge to promote educational innovation grounded in best practices.

aimWe developed a virtual medical education journal club to enhance pedagogical practice, foster an environment for collaboration, and enhance knowledge of research methodologies.

settingThe Knowledge Information Collaborative Scholarship (KICS) monthly virtual medical education journal club.

participantsFaculty, trainees, and staff in medicine. Average monthly attendance was 36 individuals, representing 37 institutions across the USA, and one international participant. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Innovating the traditional model, the authors are invited to present. The authors begin with a brief description of the paper and lessons learned followed by group discussion. PROGRAM EVALUATION: We surveyed participants from 2023 to 2024. The survey had a 25.8% response rate (n=51). Participants indicated that journal club increased their familiarity with the literature, 91.8% (n=45) and that they had applied knowledge learned in journal club to their work, 71.4% (n=35). Content analysis yielded two themes: (1) Practical application of knowledge and (2) The value of participating in a community for professional growth. DISCUSSION: The KICS journal club has demonstrated success with engagement and geographic reach. Participants indicate acquisition and application of knowledge. Moving forward, we aim to promote scholarly productivity through collaboration among participants.
