Evaluation of skill-based training program on rational drug treatment for medical interns.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
contextA module-based training program for medical interns using World Health Organization guide for good prescription along with the individual feedback on their prescription was developed and implemented.
objectiveThe objective of the study was to obtain the medical interns' reactions to newly developed skill-based training program on rational treatment. STUDY
settingThis study was conducted at the Department of Community Medicine.
participantsA total of 96 medical interns were included in the study. STUDY
designA cross-sectional study consisting of retro-prefeedback and open-ended questions about self-assessment of perceived skill on rational treatment. ANALYSIS: Collected data were entered in Epi Info (3.5.4) and analyzed.
resultsAfter training, there was a significant increase in self-perceived posttest scores of setting up the therapeutic objective for the treatment (2.9-4.9), ability to select the correct drug (2.8-5.1), ability to select right dose, schedule, and duration of drugs (2.5-4.9). and overall prescription skill (2.9-4.9). There is a significant decrease in self-perceived scores in the skill of practicing polypharmacy (4.1-2.5).
conclusionsOverall, the training program was taken well and interns perceived their skill on rational treatment was improved as shown by the feedback.
