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

backgroundIn Europe, resident doctors are not provided with standardized educational modules on pain management (PM) and pediatric palliative care (PPC).

methodsItalian Schools of Residency in Pediatrics (ISRP) were invited to participate in an education project on PM and PPC. A questionnaire was distributed before the start of the teaching module (May 2023) to assess the state of the art in PPC and PM educational programs among the ISRP. Between June and December 2023, three synchronous and twelve asynchronous online modules were delivered. This project was carried out nationwide. Data were collected using pre- and post-module questionnaires administered through a dedicated online learning platform, ensuring uniformity and reliability of responses. The information gathered included the participants' universities, years of residency, pre- and post-course test results, and satisfaction with the course content.

resultsAll ISRP participated, enrolling 2671 residents (70.3% of Italian pediatric residents). A total of 52.7% completed the program, with all passing the final competency test (ECTS-credits). Pre- and post-module assessments demonstrated a significant improvement in theoretical knowledge, with the percentage of correct answers rising from 22.5% to 90.4%. Overall satisfaction was high (4/5 on a Likert scale).

conclusionsThis remote teaching module effectively enhanced residents'knowledge and skills in PM and PPC. Although it was effective in terms of education and satisfaction, it could further benefit from structured complementary training offered within the regional clinical network.
