Variability in Standardized Letters of Evaluation: A Multi-Institutional Review of EM Residency Based Versus Non-Residency Based Faculty Evaluation.

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: The Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE) in Emergency Medicine (EM) was developed by the Council of Residency Directors in Emergency Medicine (CORD) to have a uniform approach to providing training programs with information about applicants in the match process. Recent revisions distinguish what setting letter writers originate (residency based [RB] training program vs. non-residency based [nRB] site). Objectives: The goal of this paper was to compare SLOE 2.0 scoring between letter writers from RB versus nRB settings. Methods: This was a multi-institutional cross-sectional study. The study team from five residency programs collected data from SLOEs in their applicant pool from 2022 to 2023 match cycle. Each SLOE was reviewed for training location/SLOE type (RB vs. nRB) and numerical scores for sections A, B, and C (Anticipated Guidance [AG]). The data were not normally distributed, so were analyzed using descriptive and chi-squared statistics. Data were examined using Spearman's Rho ( Results: The study analyzed 3687 eSLOEs from 1772 applicants. The majority ( Conclusions: This study found a significant difference in proportions of scores assigned between RB faculty versus nRB faculty on most items including AG.
