Article in Journal of educational evaluation for health professions, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThis study was conducted to identify suggestions for improving the effectiveness and promoting the success of the current Problem-based learning (PBL) program at the Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine according to professor and student awareness survey result.
methodsA survey was carried out by sending out mobile Naver Form survey pages via text messages 3 times in December 2018, to 44 medical students and 74 professors of College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea. In addition, relevant official documents from the school administration were reviewed. The collected data were analyzed to identify the achievement of educational goals, overall satisfaction with, and operational suitability of the PBL.
resultsThe overall satisfaction scores for the PBL program were neutral range (students: 3.27 ± 0.95 vs. professors: 3.58 ± 1.07, P=0.118). Regarding the achievement of educational goals, the integration of basic and clinical medicine and encouragement of learning motivation was ranked lowest. Many respondents expressed negative opinions about the modules (students: 25.0%, professors: 39.2%) and tutors (students: 54.5%, professors: 24.3%). The students and professors agreed that the offering timing of program and length of phase were suitable, while opinions expressed in greater detail pointed to issues such as the classes being held too close to exams and their alignment with regular course units.
conclusionIssues with modules and tutors were the most pressing. Detailed and appropriate modules should be developed on the basis of advice from professors with experience in PBL tutoring. Inconsistencies in tutoring should be reduced by standardization and retraining.
