Video-Based Training on Physicians' Proficiency in Invasive Fungal Disease: A Multicentre, Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Mycoses, 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
backgroundPrevious research indicated that physicians possess limited knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal disease (IFD).
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the efficacy of training via video or PDF formats in increasing physicians' knowledge of IFD.
methodsThis was a multicentre, cluster-randomised controlled trial involving 18 tertiary hospitals in China. Physicians specialising in IFD clinical diagnosis and treatment from four departments were randomised 1:1 into a video training group or PDF training group, and questionnaires were completed before and after training. The primary outcome was the change in total questionnaire score before and after training.
resultsOf the 294 participants, 146 were assigned to the video group and 148 to the PDF group. Engagement with the training materials was observed among 127 participants from the video group and 135 from the PDF group. In the per-protocol set (PPS), post-training score improvements for total scores (p = 0.008), invasive candidiasis scores (p < 0.001), and invasive aspergillosis scores (p = 0.044) in the video group were significantly greater than those in the PDF group. Overall, 161 (61.5%) physicians in the PPS exhibited enhanced total scores post-training, with the video group outperforming the PDF group (70.9% vs. 52.6%, p = 0.002). The findings in the FAS were largely consistent with those observed in the PPS.
conclusionBoth video and PDF training modules are appealing to physicians. Further, the video training module displayed superior efficacy in improving physicians' knowledge of IFD.
