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

objectivesTeam-based learning (TBL) is a student-centered learning modality in which high and low achievers are organized in groups where students learn from each other at their own pace. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlations between TBL scores and final examination scores and student perceptions of a TBL system.

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted on a sample obtained using quota sampling of a population of second-year students enrolled in the College of Medicine, University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect data on the students' perceptions and opinions, TBL scores, and final examination scores. The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS Version 22.

resultsA sample of 101 students participated in the study. The Team Readiness Assurance Test scores were consistently higher than the mean Individual Readiness Assurance Test (IRAT) scores. The results found a statistically significant correlation between the IRAT and the final examination scores (

conclusionThe findings imply that TBL is an effective tool to facilitate inter-professional and team-based learning outcomes. Collaborations among TBL group members help learners to develop communication and interpersonal skills and to gain knowledge.
