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

purposeEnvironmental sustainability has become a critical concern across various sectors, including education and healthcare. Professional training programmes, particularly in intensive care medicine, are essential for maintaining competency but often lack consideration of their environmental impact. This study was conducted by European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) and investigated the carbon footprints of three distinct training modalities: in-person alternative distance training, online training, and virtual reality (VR) training.

methodsData from 116 participants in ESICM training programs were used to estimate CO

resultsCO

conclusionThe findings highlight the environmental benefits of digital education modalities, contributing to a significant reduction in CO
