Investigating the Impact of Resident Doctor Regional Research Meetings on Research Outcomes: A 20-Year Longitudinal Analysis of the Regional Bardhan Fellowship Day.

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
Introduction Medical research plays a critical role in advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. However, recent studies indicate a decline in trainee participation in research activities. The Yorkshire and Humber regional trainee Bardhan Fellowship was established to address this issue by encouraging and motivating gastroenterology trainees to engage in research. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of abstracts presented at this regional annual gastroenterology conference. Methods Over the past 20 years, data collection has been conducted using three primary methods. A questionnaire was distributed to gather feedback and ratings from the participants. Additionally, final meeting programs were analyzed to identify abstracts and their respective presenters, including those ranked in the top three. A cross-referencing approach was employed to track subsequent publications of presented abstracts using Web of Science and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) databases. Results An analysis of 259 abstracts revealed that 91 (35%) were published as full papers in peer-reviewed journals, whereas 168 (65%) remained unpublished. Of the 67 top-three ranked abstracts, 38 (57%) achieved full publication, a significantly higher rate than the 52 (27%) among the 192 unranked abstracts (p<0.0001). The median time to publication for the 67 ranked abstracts was 12.5 months (interquartile range {IQR}: 6.25-21.25 months), compared to 15 months (IQR: 6-27 months) for the 192 unranked abstracts. Ranked abstracts were published in journals with a median impact factor of 3.769 (IQR: 2.491-7.527; p<0.0001), while unranked abstracts were published in journals with a median impact factor of 2.884 (IQR: 1.95-4.628; p<0.0001). Ranked presenters were more likely to receive higher research degrees (26/39 {67%} versus 33/73 {45%}, p=0.03) and were more likely to be employed in a university tertiary care setting (28/41 {68%} versus 34/77 {44%}, p=0.02). Questionnaire data from 161 attendees over nine years indicated a positive evaluation of the meeting. Conclusion Research training conferences are well received by resident doctors and help them develop their research and presentation skills. This conference model could be implemented in other regions to promote research dissemination among resident doctors.
