Relation of clinical context to accuracy of simulator-based blood pressure measurement by first-year medical students.
Article in International journal of medical education, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
objectivesTo explore the association between clinical contexts and accuracy of manikin blood pressure readings by first-year medical students after first Simulation-Based-Education training.
methodsThis cross-sectional study, in controlled simulation settings, was comprised of 121 first-year medical student participants after their first Simulation-Based-Education training. Divided into three groups (n = 39, 42 and 40), participants measured blood pressure on three simulator arms assigned different clinical contexts: healthy young male, young female with hypotension, and elderly male with hypertension and diabetes. Each group performed the same protocol on three different days. A Chi-squared test was performed for between-day and between-case differences of correct answers, and one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons was performed for manikin-settings deviation (reported Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) - set SBP) among cases.
resultsThe proportion of correct answers of on Day Two was significantly lower than on the other two days (χ
conclusionsAlthough no statistical associations were found between clinical contexts and student performance in blood pressure measurement, student familiarity with diseases may be associated with performance in taking blood pressure. Day Two performance underscores the need to promote student confidence in diagnostic skills.
