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

To improve training in histology and pathology, an integrative, case-based histopathology laboratory exercise that used virtual microscopy was offered to first-year medical students during the KCOM gastrointestinal block. Students showed improvement in their understanding of histology and pathology after completing the exercise. Most students agreed that the combined histopathology laboratory helped them improve their understanding of histology and pathology in the gastrointestinal system and link normal histological and pathological changes to better understand disease processes.
