Decision-Making Capacity Assessment Education using Online Modules.
Article in Canadian geriatrics journal : CGJ, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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/Objectives: Specialized training is necessary for health-care providers such as physicians, nurses, and social workers, to be able to accurately perform decision-making capacity assessments (DMCAs). With an increasing demand for flexible, accessible education, there is growing interest in utilizing online training modules to keep health-care providers up to date on current best practices in DMCAs. This study evaluates the effectiveness of online training modules in enhancing clinicians' self-reported knowledge, confidence, and comfort with the core concepts necessary to conduct DMCAs. Methods: This was a pretest/posttest study on an online DMCA training. Participants from a regional health authority (Alberta, Canada) took 13 online modules on 15 core DMCA concepts, from March to December 2021. A pretest and a posttest were completed before and after completion of the modules. Agreement to Likert-like items were collected and compared at a group level. Additionally, the ratings were compared with historical data from face-to-face DMCA workshops. Results: A total of 683 pretests and 241 posttests were completed. All 15 posttest ratings were higher ( Conclusion: Online learning of DMCA concepts can lead to higher self-reported learning posttest to pretest. Furthermore, the changes in self-reported ratings are similar to those observed in face-to-face workshops.
