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

backgroundPediatric radiology training is often limited by short clinical rotations, limited case exposure, and the constraints of traditional instructor-centred teaching.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to design and evaluate an online, case-based educational model to standardize pediatric radiology learning and improve diagnostic competency among radiology residents.

methodsEighteen residents participated in a five-month case-based course (Group 1). The online course consisted of weekly interactive cases delivered through a Telegram channel and a dedicated discussion group, featuring anonymized cases and structured diagnostic questions facilitated by the course instructor. Performance was assessed using pre- and post-course tests. Course perception was further evaluated by comparing the online course with the traditional pediatric radiology course completed by third-year residents (Group 2).

resultsHigh engagement was observed, with 2,557 participant-instructor interactions recorded. Post-test scores showed significant improvement compared with pre-test baselines (P-value < 0.0001). Compared with traditional course, the online format demonstrated a statistically significant advantage in both achievement of learning goal (P-value = .048) and perceived knowledge gain (P-value = .008). Residents preferred the online course for its focus on real-world diagnostic scenarios, lesion description, and increased confidence in imaging interpretation across different imaging modalities.

conclusionSustainable postgraduate education requires flexible, digital strategies to support time-constrained learners. This model effectively complements traditional lectures and clinical rotations while providing a scalable approach to help bridge subspecialty gaps, especially in resource-limited settings. These findings suggest the online case-based approach is not merely a pandemic-era substitute but rather a lasting evolution in global medical training.
