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

In this article, we discuss the current state of medical ethics education. In Higher Education, ethics is taught predominantly through discussion and case study-based teaching formats. At present, however, only little can be said about the adequacy of these teaching methods in attaining complex educational objectives as ethics education poses challenges regarding meaningful student assessment and evaluation of educational methods. Output-oriented evaluation and assessment paradigms that centre quantified student performance fail to meaningfully capture the learning of ethics. Currently, we argue that comparatively small efforts are being devoted to the advancement of innovative and adequate approaches to teaching and assessment in ethics education. In response to these shortcomings, drawing from educational traditions that focus on preparatory activities, we work towards a new approach to evaluate teaching methods and assessing the learning in ethics.
