An evaluation of optimal tutorial methodologies for neurology teaching at undergraduate level : Optimal tutorial methods for neurology.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimWe aim to determine the efficacy of an intensive week of large group tutorials in the teaching of neurology to medical students. We also look to compare teaching methods within our centre.
methodsStudents were asked to complete a questionnaire before and after large group tutorials ranking their confidence in neurology. Students from two consecutive years were studied, each using a different tutorial method. An 'intensive week' approach was then compared to a 'once a week' approach.
resultsResponses from pre and post the tutorial week were compared. Students reported an improvement in all domains following either method of delivering tutorials. There was no statistically significant difference between the two approaches.
conclusionLarge group tutorials are an effective way of delivering neurology teaching to undergraduate medical students.
