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

introductionBedside teaching is an important and established learning tool in medical education. However there is a decline in bedside teachings over the years throughout the world including Nepal, due to advancement in medical technology, clinical skills labs and simulation techniques. This study aimed to find out the perception of Nepalese medical students towards different domains of bedside teaching.

methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A questionnaire consisting of Likert scale, open ended and closed ended questions was developed on different aspect of bedside teaching and the filled questionnaires were included for analysis.

resultsThree hundred and six questionnaires were included. Almost all of medical students responded that bedside teaching is a useful learning modality in clinical teaching 304 (99.3%) and provides active learning in real context 291 (95%). The majority of medical students 233 (76%) were satisfied with the steps of history taking, examination followed by management discussion employed at bedside teaching. The students 223 (73%) were satisfied, how to elicit signs following demonstration of clinical exam by teachers at bedside. However majority 196 (64%) felt lack of individual opportunity at bedside. According to students, focussing more on practically oriented clinical skills with proper supervision would improve learning while hindering factors were large number of students and patient's uncooperativeness. Good communication was considered the best method of alleviating patient discomfort at bedside teaching in this study.

conclusionsThe study concluded that medical students have positive response and learning attitudes towards different aspects of bedside teaching.
