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

backgroundMedical education in the discipline of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University of Münster was traditionally focused on the transfer of knowledge via lectures. According to the current guidelines, the medical curriculum was modified as from the winter semester 2016/2017 to be more competency-based and the changes were evaluated.

objectiveLectures and seminars were reduced to achieve a better linkage between theoretical and practical knowledge. Moreover, learning goals were formulated based on the German National Competence-based Catalogue of Learning Objectives in Medicine (NKLM) and entrustable professional activities (EPAs). MATERIAL AND

methodsAlmost all previous lectures are now replaced by an inverted classroom concept with e‑learning. Theoretical knowledge is deepened by immediate multiple choice (MC) examinations and a seminar, which now focusses on specific practical EPAs. At the end of the semester, the students now undergo a practical, formative examination with simulated patients (actors) in addition to the former MC test. For evaluation, a representative sample of a semester cohort which took part in the previous curriculum and a similar cohort which attended the revised curriculum were investigated. Moreover, variables which might have an impact on the results were assessed, e. g. pre-existing psychiatric knowledge and motivation.

resultsStudents taught by the modified curriculum showed a significantly better practical performance and no reduction of theoretical knowledge. Relevant influencing factors were not identified.

conclusionThe results show that a competency-based modification of the curriculum in the discipline of psychiatry and psychotherapy leads to more practical abilities and thus helps future physicians to be more self-determined.
