Research-related attitudes among Chinese medicine students at a Canadian college: a mixed-methods study.
Article in Integrative medicine research, 2019. 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
backgroundPrevious studies have suggested that American Chinese medicine students' research interest declines as their training progresses. Many students further express low confidence in the congruence ('model validity') of bioscientific research methods in relation to the Chinese medicine paradigm. However, prior research has not assessed the impacts of research-related coursework on student perspectives in this regard.
methodsFirst-, second- and third-year Chinese medicine students were surveyed regarding their research-related views. Final year students were re-surveyed after completing the research course. Qualitative analyses of the participating students' coursework were also undertaken.
resultsOver 80% of all participants showed high research interest and engagement, and viewed research as both relevant to clinical practice and important for the profession's socioeconomic legitimation. Male students were significantly more likely to view scientific evidence as improving the quality of Chinese medicine care (p = 0.021). A view that conventional research methods have low model validity for Chinese medicine interventions was higher among third year students than those in their first or second years of study (p = 0.001). Research coursework appeared to increase self-assessed research interest and skill. Concern regarding model validity was strongly evident in student coursework.
conclusionResearch-related curricular interventions in the Chinese medicine field should directly address model validity, as it is of significant interest to a majority of students.
