Assessing the impact of Medical Microbiology classes using active strategies on short- and long-term retention on medical students: an innovative study.

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
One of teachers' concerns, with students in general and medical students in particular, is to ensure as much as possible that information goes from students' short-term memories to their long-term memories. The present study focuses on knowledge retention in Medical Microbiology and assesses the effectiveness of some strategies implemented for short- and long-term retention. A pre- and post-test was used to assess student's learning. This study involved students of Porto University (test group). Test group participants were all attending the third year of the Medicine Degree Program. The results of post-test 1 were considered very positive and support the importance of these applied active activities and/or methodologies in Medical Microbiology for short-term retention. However, the results obtained in post-test 2 showed that knowledge retention after 9 months, despite substantial, decreases.
