Perception of Pediatric Resident Physicians on Self-Directed Learning: A Multi-institutional Survey.
Article in Indian pediatrics, 2025. 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
objectivesTo assess the opportunities and limitations of self-directed learning (SDL) among pediatric postgraduate trainees.
methodsA semi-structured anonymized questionnaire was administered to pediatric postgraduate trainees to assess their readiness towards SDL, current practices, opportunities and limitations of SDL. Closed ended questions were scored using a five-point Likert scale. Thematic analysis of responses was conducted followed by focus-group discussion to ascertain the barriers and enablers of SDL.
resultsOne hundred ten trainees responded; majority (67.7%) were aged 26-30 years. The median (IQR) scores for different components of SDL were- identifying own learning needs 4 (3.5, 4), formulating own learning goals 4 (3, 4), identifying learning resources 3 (3, 4), choosing and implementing learning strategy 3 (2, 4), evaluating learning outcomes 3 (2, 4), and willingness to drive one's own learning 3.5 (3, 4). The majority (95%) used online resources for knowledge domain; 64.5% (71/110) practiced peer-assisted learning. The skill training was chiefly through simulation and hands-on experience (97%). Lack of time was the commonest limitation reported by 75% students.
conclusionsThe SDL practice was not forthcoming among pediatric postgraduates.
