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

This article examines the success and effectiveness of a further education and training program on wrinkle injections for plastic and aesthetic surgeons using the Kirkpatrick model. Data on course satisfaction, learning progress and the application of what has been learnt in the professional environment were collected using two questionnaires before and after the wrinkle course. Log data from a learning management system is also used. Level 1 - reaction shows a high level of satisfaction with the further education and training program among course participants. Level 2 - learning shows a significant improvement after the wrinkle course when assessing the level of knowledge. Level 3 - behavior shows that the participants successfully apply the newly acquired wrinkle injection skills in their everyday work, especially when injecting with botulinum toxin A. The results of this study show that the Kirkpatrick model helps to measure the effectiveness and success of the offered wrinkle course. Important insights are gained for the design and evaluation of further education and training programs for plastic and aesthetic surgeons.
