Faculty perceptions regarding community-based medical education: The case of KSA.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThere is great concern about the selection and quality of health college graduates and about their ability to respond to local community health needs. Community-based medical education (CBME) is a means of achieving educational relevance to community needs. In KSA, medical education has rapidly progressed in tandem with huge expansions in community health needs and expectations. This study aimed to assess the perceptions of the faculty members of the colleges of medicine and dentistry towards different concepts reflecting CBME. METHODOLOGY: This analytical, observational and cross-sectional study used a self-administered questionnaire that was given to the faculty members of the colleges of medicine and dentistry at Taibah University, KSA.
resultsAs many as 136 faculty members responded, a response rate of 64%. The percentage of agreement was strongest among the faculty members of the college of medicine. The study findings also showed a relationship between different concepts of CBME and faculty teaching experiences by academic positions for applying CBME. There were significant differences in the social, cultural, and ethnic aspects of medical practice.
conclusionCBME is a means of achieving educational relevance to community needs and consequently serves as a means of implementing a community-oriented education programme.
