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

Background: Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is an innovative program that uses videoconferencing technology to connect health care providers with experts. The model has been successful in reaching health care providers in rural and underserved areas and positively impacting clinical practice. ECHO Idaho, a replication partner, has developed programming that has increased knowledge and confidence of health care professionals throughout the state of Idaho, United States. Although the ECHO model has a demonstrated ability to recruit, educate, and train health care providers, barriers to attending Project ECHO continuing education (CE) programs remain. The asynchronous nature of podcasts could be used as an innovative medium to help address barriers to CE access that health care professionals face. The ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast was developed to increase CE accessibility to rural and frontier providers, while upscaling their knowledge of and competence to treat and assess substance use disorders, pain, and behavioral health conditions. Objective: This paper describes the creation and preliminary assessment of the ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast. Methods: Podcast episodes consisted of interviews with individuals as well as didactic lectures. Audio from these recordings were edited for content and length and then professionally reviewed by subject matter experts (eg, featured episode speakers). Target audiences consisted of health care providers and community members interested in behavioral health and substance use disorders. Metrics on podcast listeners were assessed using SoundCloud's RSS feed, continuing education survey completion, and iECHO. Results: The ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast's inaugural season comprised 14 episodes with 626 minutes of CE material. The podcast series received a total of 2441 listens from individuals in 14 different cities across Idaho, and 63 health care providers listened and claimed CE credits. The largest professional group was social workers (n=22; 35%). Conclusions: We provide preliminary evidence that podcasts can be used to provide health care providers with opportunities to access CE material. Health care providers listened to and claimed CE credits from the ECHO Idaho "Something for the Pain" podcast. Project ECHO programs should consider creating podcasts as an additional platform for disseminating ECHO material.
