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

Build Your Research Community (BYRC) is an asynchronous, free online course that guides research students to build effective relationships with their primary research advisors as well as build mentoring networks that provide holistic support as they navigate their research training experiences and careers. Preliminary evaluation evidence of the effectiveness of BYRC was collected from undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, and graduate students in 22 biomedical research training programs, as well as students who enrolled in the course independently from across the country. Students valued the course components, module topics, and structure, and the majority indicated they would recommend it to others. Students self-reported learning gains for all course modules, identified several specific course elements that positively impacted their learning and development, and indicated that the course positively impacted their current and future training experiences and mentoring relationships. Students at earlier training stages reported the greatest impacts. In addition, training program directors reported satisfaction with the course and their ability to integrate the course into their existing programs. Overall, these results indicate that the BYRC course may be an effective addition to research training programs. All course materials are freely available online (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/WR6KP), and the modules may be implemented independently.
