Research Training of Future Leaders in Radiology: A Pilot International Outreach Educational Program.
Article in Cureus, 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
Objective This study aimed to determine the short-term effects of a research methodology course (intervention) on knowledge enhancement of participants from economically emerging (cohort 1) and economically developed (cohort 2) countries; and to determine the long-term publication trajectory of course participants from the time of intervention (timepoint 1 (T1)) to 10 years post-course (timepoint 2 (T2)). Participants/setting Residents/fellows/junior staff from academic institutions of cohorts 1 and 2 completed a four-day research course divided into research design (M1) and statistics (M2) modules. Intervention A 30-item multiple-choice pre-test was provided at the beginning and end of the course for M1 and M2. Pre-/post-test scores assessed knowledge enhancement. A PubMed search (1966-2024) was conducted to evaluate the number, impact factor (IF), and authorship of publications until T1 and T2. Results In cohort 1, 21 (100%) participants (male-to-female ratio: 11:10; six residents and 15 fellows/junior staff) aspired to an academic career; in cohort 2 (male-to-female ratio: 12:7), 12/19 (63%) (seven residents and five fellows/junior staff) did. At T1, differences were noted between pre- and post-test scores for cohort 1 in M1 (p=0.0005) and M2 (p=0.001), but only for M2 (p=0.01) for cohort 2. For aspiring academicians, whereas the mean number of publications/person was similar between cohort 1 (N=1.1) and cohort 2 (N=2.75) at T1 (p=0.12), it was higher for cohort 2 (N=27.4 vs. N=8.95) at T2 (p=0.03), with similar mean IF of publications for cohorts 1 and 2 at T1 and T2 (p>0.05). Conclusion In the short term, radiology trainees from both countries benefited from the educational research program, particularly in statistics. Over a decade, whereas the quality (IF) of publications remained stable for academicians of both countries, the publication output/person remained stable for cohort 2 participants but declined for cohort 1 participants.
