A Practical Approach to Clinical Ethics Education for Undergraduate Medical Students: A Case Study From Guatemala.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis case study describes a faculty initiative to create a curriculum in applied medical ethics for undergraduate medical students at the Universidad Francisco Marroquin (UFM) in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
methodsThe new ethics curriculum (PRACTICE) incorporates ethics short-courses into the university's system of nontraditional, credit-bearing electives offered to students as part of their 6-year undergraduate medical education and complements existing didactic courses in normative ethics. Structured case-based activities allow for flexibility in design and scheduling, do not compete with core requirements of the existing curriculum, and enable students to develop critical reasoning approaches to ethical situations they will encounter in medical practice. Two preliminary workshops provided teaching opportunities for the faculty, stimulated student interest in future ethics courses, and provided an evidence base to guide the development of a formal curriculum.
resultsThe elective currently includes six 2-hour modules, each of which is a stand-alone unit with learning goals and objectives, brief didactic lecture, assigned readings, discussion case, and assessment. To date, more than 110 students have participated in the workshops and courses. Student feedback and evaluations are being used to refine pedagogical approaches and drive future course content.
conclusionsThe PRACTICE course format offers a transformative model for ethics education in Guatemala that can be used in medical education throughout the country and region.
