Making Primary Literature Come Alive in the Classroom.
Review in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
By the time young scholars graduate college, they are expected to be prepared for their career. The knowledge that they have gained during their undergraduate education is assumed to prepare them for their future occupation. Understanding primary academic literature is absolutely imperative for scientists who are expected to be able to read, understand, explain, and incorporate literature into their work. Unfortunately, many new graduates are only exposed to traditional learning methods such as textbook readings, lectures, or slide shows about primary literature. It is important that while in college, students learn about the rich content of the literature that serves as the foundation for their respective fields. We review methods for integrating primary literature into the classroom and separate them into three components including (1) introduction to the literature, (2) enhancement of literacy and comprehension, (3) and humanizing the literature. These methods of teaching and learning are far more captivating than simply memorizing facts for a test. The brilliance of these methods is that they can be completed within one class time or throughout a semester. The goal is to help students become comfortable with literature, which does not have to be restricted by any time frame. It is our hope that this review of existing tools and ideas provided will help set students up for success in their field. They allow students to practice knowing and using primary literature while requiring students to be active participants in scientific discovery related to their future occupation.
