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 hematology and oncology manage complex pathophysiology that is not otherwise seen during general pediatric residency. Therefore, this was a unique opportunity for a robust educational experience essential for future clinical practice. This project aimed to improve pediatric residents' education experience and knowledge retention during their hematology and oncology rotations. This was achieved by implementing structured resources and a pre-rotation orientation over 15 months. Outcomes were measured via two questionnaires to assess the participants' knowledge (objective questionnaire based on board-style questions) and perceived improvements in comfort levels (subjective questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale). Participants were given surveys on the first day of the rotation and again on the last day to evaluate improvement in medical knowledge and comfort levels. The project ran from July 2022 to September 2023. The data was analyzed using the IBM® SPSS® statistical software. Out of 56 eligible participants, 51 completed all objective and subjective questionnaire questions. A significant difference when comparing the pre- and post-rotation Likert scale for an overall comfort level with the field of hematology (p < 0.001) and oncology (p < 0.001) was observed. Additionally, the objective questionnaire significantly improved correct answers pre- and post-rotation (p = 0.006). There was a statistically significant increase in both the subjective and objective questionnaires obtained between the pre- and post-data, which supported our hypothesis that through the creation of easily accessible hem/onc resources and a more streamlined and equal educational experience, residents' comfort level and underlying medical knowledge of common hem/onc disorders improved.
