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

Pediatric cardiology fellowship programs in the United States (U.S.) follow the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines, requiring scholarly activities for completion. However, detailed data on research experiences within these programs are scarce. This study sought to describe the state of research training and exposure in U.S. pediatric cardiology fellowship programs. An electronic survey was sent to 350 pediatric cardiology fellows across the U.S (Initially sent on 11/16/23 with a second request on 12/12/23). The survey assessed demographics, availability of research training resources, perceived barriers to research, expected research output, and satisfaction with research exposure. Fellowship programs were classified by size: small (1-5 fellows), medium (6-9 fellows), and large (10 + fellows). Statistical analyses included comparisons and logistic regression. We received 103 complete survey responses. Most respondents (89%) agreed with the statement: "I have been encouraged to pursue research training and experiences during my fellowship." However, only 31% agreed with the statement: "I am satisfied with the training on research methodology and statistics provided by my fellowship program." Commonly endorsed barriers to completing research projects included lack of statistical support (37%), lack of protected time for faculty to support fellow research (56%), lack of a formal research curriculum (38%), and lack of funding for fellow research (26%). Research training and experiences differed by program size, with larger programs providing more protected time and greater encouragement for research, while smaller programs were more likely to rely on online resources. Despite strong encouragement for research, satisfaction with research training in pediatric cardiology fellowship programs is limited. Addressing barriers such as statistical support, protected faculty time, and formal research curricula could enhance the research experience and outcomes for fellows.
