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

Introduction: Teaching faculty is vital to the success of academic institutions. Academic biomedical faculty has faced greater workloads, and limited access to development opportunities. The Academy of Educational Scholars (AES) was designed as a community of practice with an embedded educational research fellowship to address the challenges of building and sustaining educational scholarship as recognized value for academic biomedical faculty careers. Methods: An educational project-based, one-year faculty fellowship served to identify faculty motivated to join a community of practice. Fellowship curriculum development was guided by a literature review, internal needs' assessment, and the Kerns six-step framework. The program comprised ten 3-hour workshops and two project critique sessions delivered at monthly intervals over 12 months. Immediate session evaluations and a comprehensive program evaluation were conducted, assessing program value, and improvements in educator confidence in knowledge and skill. Outcome measures included presentations at local and national conferences, numbers of abstracts submitted, publications, grant submissions and new educational roles taken on. Results: Fellowship graduates from first 2 cohorts demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in knowledge about educational scholarship ( Conclusion: Embedding an educational research fellowship into a community of practice is an effective model for building a sustainable teaching academy. Identifying local talent and incorporating member service expectations has minimized cost while incentivizing a volunteer model. Building the community of practice entailed intentional recruitment of mature educational scholars and novice fellows.
