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

backgroundChanges in medical education have drawn attention to student-based learning. It is necessary that teachers' educational roles be redefined to conform to these changes. While numerous educational activities are listed for medical teachers, it seems that they involve themselves in only some of these roles. We conducted this study to assess the importance of different educational roles in the view of medical faculties.

methodsA questionnaire that consisted of a total of 12 roles classified into six categories including information provider, role model, facilitator, examiner, planner, and resource developer was prepared. Faculty members were asked to score the importance of each role using a 1-10 scale.

resultsParticipants assigned the highest score to "on-the-job role model" (9.47) and the lowest score to "curriculum planner" (8.31) from their own point of view. They also assigned the highest score to "planning or participating in student exams" (8.10) and the lowest score to "learning facilitator" (6.51) from the perspective of the importance of roles in their school's programs.

conclusionFaculty members are generally familiar with different educational roles but they need to be informed about some of the roles which have gained lower scores in this study.
