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

introductionSocial factors such as culture, race, education, belief, and living and working environment can be part of the causes of diseases or influence the natural history of a disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe have adopted the Harden's ten questions of curriculum development framework approach to assess the social impact of medical curriculum of Faculty of Medicine, Gezira University (FMUG), among the Integrated Program of Field Training, Research, and Rural Development course. We have assessed the objectives and aims of the course and critically analyzed how these will meet the need for social sciences to be integrated into the curriculum.

resultsThe recommendations about social and behavioral sciences are well implemented in the curriculum of FMUG. The curriculum promotes early exposure to the community learning. The ten questions of Harden for curriculum or course assessment are satisfactorily covered in the Integrated Program of Field Training, Research, and Rural Development course at FMUG. In addition, the course is also fitting well with criteria suggested recently for increasing competency in social medicine within the medical school curriculum. Importantly, the course is part of the social sciences that well integrated through the duration of the curriculum.

conclusionThe Integrated Program of Field Training, Research, and Rural Development course at FMUG satisfy most of the competency for social medicine. Therefore, taking all these factors into consideration, it is possible to suggest that further research is needed to establish whether the model of FMUG in social sciences can be exemplary for universities in Africa and the Middle East.
