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

Efforts to improve the quality of undergraduate medical education are commonly hampered by limited human and financial resources. This deficiency may be offset by the development of well structured and innovative teaching concepts, which optimize available assets. The newly conceived modular course "Emergency Medicine" at the University Medical Center Freiburg was conducted for the first time in the winter semester 2006/2007. The core of the course is a 3-day practical training period. It provides the possibility to teach a maximum number of medical students with only four lecturers using patient simulators, interactive case scenarios (simulation software MicroSim), and case scenarios with standardized patients. Evaluation of the course revealed standardized patients to be the best of all teaching methods with an overall average grade of 1.1 (patient simulators 1.2, computer simulation 1.4). Of the students, 88% stated that the practical training encouraged their interest in the speciality emergency medicine. The excellent student evaluation results show that the new course "Emergency Medicine" for medical students constitutes a successful balance between the constraint of resource limitation and the goal of excellent medical education.
