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.

Abstract

introductionE-learning is in expansion although its pedagogical performance has not been validated in the anesthesia residency. E-learning can be divided into passive e-learning; guided e-learning, interactive e-learning, and adaptive e-learning. The objective was to compare the impact of passive e-learning versus interactive e-learning on anesthesia residents' acquisition of theoretical knowledge and clinical reasoning. MATERIAL AND

methodsAnesthesia residents were randomized into a Passive E-learning group (Pass-EL group) and an Interactive E-learning group (Int-EL group). The Pass-EL group had documents sent by email and the Int-EL group had access to a pedagogical internet platform. A test composed of one clinical case, evaluating the clinical knowledge, and, 15 script concordance tests (SCT), evaluating the clinical reasoning, was conducted before and after e-learning. The outcome of the comparison was the means of the paired within-subject differences (delta) of clinical knowledge scores (pre-and post-test) between the two groups.

resultsFifty-four residents were randomized in this prospective multicentric study in Normandy, France. Twenty-eight in the Int-EL group and 26 in the Pass-EL group. The mean of the paired within-subject differences of theoretical clinical knowledge scores after versus before e-learning was significantly higher in the Int-EL group compared to the Pass-EL group (Int-EL group 8.5 [-1.0; 19.5] vs. Pass-EL group 5.4[-6.0; 21.5], mean delta score difference: 3.1 [0.1; 6.1], P = 0.045). There was no difference for SCT. Seven residents (25%) reached out to the mentor within the Int-EL group.

conclusionInteractive e-learning showed efficacy for theoretical clinical knowledge but did not improve clinical reasoning.
