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

objectiveTo implement problem-based learning exercises in a pharmacy research elective course and assess the impact on students' knowledge and confidence in their ability to analyze, design, and present basic research projects relevant to clinical areas.

designHands-on learning activities, including discussions on experimental design, development of collective diagrams, research planning, results analysis, data evaluation, and presentation design, were incorporated into the course and developed as team-based learning experiences. ASSESSMENT: Students gave a seminar presentation to peers and faculty members at the end of the semester and created posters for presentations at professional meetings. Students who decided to work on a continuation project during the following semester were expected to produce data that might be sufficient for the development of manuscripts for submission to scientific journals.

conclusionsFeedback from students revealed an appreciation and renewed interest in analyzing clinical issues with a much wider focus as well as increased understanding of and confidence in using data derived from basic science research.
