Article in Der Nervenarzt, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Practically orientated examinations represent an important innovation in medical education. In the subject area of neurology, the "Objective Structured Clinical Examination" (OSCE) proved to be a viable form of examination for the subject of neurological anamnesis and a medical examination course at the University of Tuebingen in Germany. A total of 577 students in their sixth semester of study were examined in, to date, four OSCEs and achieved an average of 17.5 of possible 25 points in the subject of neurology. Improvement in point average was observable over the course of time, while the average performance of students across the total OSCE remained constant. Student evaluations regarding form and content of the neurological examinations yielded an average grade of B (in the German system 2.1). Simulation patients were rated with an average grade of A- (German system 1.7). Examination methods are presented together with experience concerning preparation, implementation, and developmental enhancement of neurological OSCE examinations. Implications of this novel form of examination for faculty development and regulating students' learning and study behaviour are discussed.
