Relooking the curriculum and assessment in undergraduate pathology.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
introductionPathology is basic science, and steps are being taken to integrate the clinical sciences in undergraduate pathology curriculum. The present study was undertaken with the aim to assess the need for revision of the undergraduate pathology curriculum with a focus on assessment methods. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included a questionnaire-based, anonymous, survey in a 5-point Likert-type scale for undergraduate students who have completed pathology subject including the interns and a qualitative approach through interviews and focus group discussions from the pathology senior residents and faculties using the essentialist thematic analysis.
resultsThere were a total of 109 feedbacks from undergraduate students and also the interns. A total of 10 feedbacks from the senior residents and faculties were analyzed. About 70%-90% of the students were satisfied with the pathology curriculum and teaching and clinical integration in pathology. However, only 52.3% of students felt morphology being extremely important as compared to 80% of faculties, showing a discrepancy between the students' perception of the importance of morphology and that of the faculties.
conclusionAlthough both students and faculties find the curriculum adequate, it is suggested that teaching could be made more clinical oriented. The assessment based on morphology should be given less emphasis during the assessment.
