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

backgroundThe implementation of the cross-sectional subject of palliative care (Q13) at medical faculties in Germany is heterogeneous. In faculties without a chair for palliative medicine, other solutions are needed.

objectivesThis study describes the development and implementation process of the new educational concept in Q13 at the Hannover Medical School and its evaluation by medical students and lecturers. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe new educational concept was developed in 2017/18 following the six-step approach of curriculum development by Kern, and was implemented and tested in the academic year 2018/19. Evaluation was assessed in two steps, both in qualitative and quantitative terms (mixed methods): an anonymous written evaluation by students with the option of free text answers and feedback discussions with lecturers.

resultsStudents and lecturers welcomed the new educational concept in equal measures. Students thought that education in Q13 stimulates reflection on the individual attitude towards the issues of death and dying and prepares them for encounters with terminally ill and dying people. The case-based learning units in particular led to a consolidation of theoretical knowledge (i.e. pain management) with adequate patient orientation. Teachers positively highlighted the organization and the educational material. Content structuring was considered to be particularly helpful.

conclusionsWith the new teaching concept, medical students feel well prepared for the treatment of terminally ill and dying patients. The combination of different learning formats with an interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral focus promotes education with a practical orientation.
