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

Objectives: Journal Club sessions are a staple in clinical training, widely implemented across various specialities. This study aims to compare the effectiveness if in-person and virtual Journal Club sessions. Materials & Methods: This compartive study involved pediatric neurology residents from two institutions: six residents from Children's Medical Centerattended in-person sessions, while seven residents from Mofid Children's Hospital participated in virtual sessions. Evaluations were based on an interaction and behavior checklist during the sessions, apost-test consisting of ten multiple-choice questions, and a student-satisfaction questionnaire. Results: A total of 13 pediatricneurology residents(12 women and 1 man) participated. The average knowledge score was higher in virtual sessions compared to the in-person sessions, though this difference was not statistically significant. High satisfaction(score of 4) for active participation was reported by 50% of in-person attendees and 57.1% of virtual attendees, with nosignificant difference. For analytic assessment of statistical tests in articles, high satisfaction was reported by 83.3% of in-person attendees and 100% of virtual attendees, also not significantly different. Conclusion: The findings suggest that virtual Journal Clubs can be effective and satisfactory as in-person sessions. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these results.
