Efficiency and effectiveness of concise evidence-based medicine training program at a tertiary healthcare institute - Exploring the impact on research output of faculty.

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: Many clinicians fail to incorporate principles of evidence-based medicine (EBM) while treating patients due to a lack of formal training in EBM. Faculty/clinicians lacking expertise in EBM skills cannot promote evidence-based practice in their students and residents. The present study was conceived to evaluate the research aptitude as the output of structured training on EBM. Materials and Methods: Retrospectively data generated from the intervention through a concisely structured 4-day training workshop on research methodology, biostatistics, and EBM module was analyzed on various parameters. The performance of participants was analyzed based on the post-test assessment data. Faculty research data output was based on the number and quality of scientific publications and the number of research projects a year before attending the training program and over the next 3 years after the intervention. Results: A total of 300 participants attended six successive training programs comprising 100 students (postgraduates and Ph. D) and 200 faculty. All participants scored satisfactorily in the post-test. Postintervention, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of publications and research projects by the faculty members as assessed by the Chi-square test ( Conclusion: A well-structured, short-duration course on EBM is a feasible option for efficient and effective training. Faculty showed consistent and statistically significant improvement in research output. Regular short-duration EBM courses pave the way for a culture of research in the Institute.
