[Analysis of Information literacy skills in Medical Residents].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Information literacy skills are essential in evidence-based clinical practice, as their development enables access to, use of, and critical evaluation of scientific information. Objective: To analyze the information literacy skills of medical residents by examining their practices related to searching for, using, and evaluating scientific information. Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted among medical residents. An adapted online version of the Occupational Health Information Literacy Competency Questionnaire was administered. The study explored search strategies, use of digital tools, library services, and information evaluation criteria. Results: A total of 428 residents were analyzed, 69.6% of whom were women. Digital resources and self-directed learning predominated. Male residents demonstrated higher levels of knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to information literacy. Coming from public universities and being enrolled in adult-focused specialties were associated with greater use of on-site or home loan library services. Third-year residents and above more frequently used databases such as PubMed and Cochrane for information retrieval. Conclusions: Medical residents' information literacy was characterized by a predominance of self-directed learning, with male residents showing higher proficiency in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The implementation of institutional information literacy programs is recommended.
