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

objectivesTo assess psychometric properties of team-based learning student assessment instrument (TBL-SAI) and TBL acceptance by student academic year.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at College of Medicine, University of Bisha, Bisha, Saudi Arabia, between February and May 2018. Students (n=109) from second- to fourth-year were scored on TBL-SAI scale (33-items). Principal axis factoring with varimax rotation was conducted on the scale to identify the emerged factors. Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlation were used to check the reliability and validity of the instrument.

resultsCronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.798. The means scores of TBL-SAI scale and each subscale was favorable. On factoring analysis, 27-items of revised TBL-SAI scale were retained and 7 factors emerged. Factor 1 stands for TBL satisfaction; factors 2, 4, 5, 6 stand for TBL versus lecture preference, factors 3 and 7 stand for TBL accountability.  The scale was positively correlated with each TBL favor subscale, ranged between 0.328 and 0.756. Year-4 students scored higher (p less than 0.001) on TBL-SAI compared to year-2 or year-3 students.

conclusionsThe revised TBL-SAI is valid and reliable tool to measure the favor of TBL. Longitudinal studies across all academic levels are recommended to provide a clearer picture of the students' acceptance rate of TBL.
