Medical simulation in pharmacology learning and retention: A comparison study with traditional teaching in undergraduate medical students.
Article in Pharmacology research & perspectives, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The purpose of the study was to determine whether low-high fidelity medical simulation improves learning and long-lasting retention of pharmacology knowledge, compared to lecture alone, in undergraduate medical students. Ninety students, before a 45-minute lecture, were randomized into three groups - sham (S), low (LF), and high fidelity (HF) simulation - to participate in an interactive simulation session. To evaluate immediate and long-lasting retention, a 20-item structured questionnaire on inotropic agents was administered to 90 students before and after a 45-minute lecture, after simulation, and 3 months later. In all groups, the rate of correct answers increased after lecture, while no difference was observed between different groups (
