Trainee Perception of Virtual Interviews and Associations of Virtual Engagement with Vascular Surgery Culture and Community.
Article in Annals of vascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundIn recent years, the vascular surgery community has increased the utilization of virtual interviews and virtual engagement or use of online technologies for educational, networking, and mentorship activities. This study evaluates trainee preferences of virtual interviews and associations of virtual engagement with wellness.
methodsDeidentified data were collected from a confidential, voluntary survey of residents and fellows in vascular surgery programs administered following the 2023 Vascular Surgery In-Training Examination (VSITE). A 5-point Likert scale measured resident perceptions of virtual interviews and virtual interactions. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to compare factors associated with preference of virtual interviews and virtual engagement.
resultsOf 521 trainees who participated in the survey (78.2% response rate), 60.8% were male, 48.8% were non-White, and there was a relatively equal distribution among training years. Only 41.2% of the trainees reported they would have preferred virtual interviews in retrospect. These trainees were more likely to be non-White and in postgraduate years one or 2 (P = 0.03 and P < 0.001, respectively). Overall, 83.5% of trainees were classified as virtually engaged. These trainees were more likely to be male (86.5% vs. 78.9%, P = 0.033) and had 2.8 increased odds of satisfaction with time for their personal lives (P < 0.001).
conclusionWhile most trainees surveyed reported a preference for in-person interviews, trainees report that virtual interviews are reflective of program culture. Additionally, trainees who were virtually engaged were more likely to report satisfaction with their time for their personal lives. Our study supports continued hybrid approaches to interviews and trainee engagement.
