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

Introduction: Development of cardiac disease-related diagnostic skills-including hypothesis-driven data gathering, heart sound interpretation, and ECG interpretation-is an important component of medical student training. Prior studies indicate trainees' performance of these skills is limited. Simulation provides students with opportunities to practice integrating their developing knowledge in a relevant clinical context. We developed a simulated clinic activity for second-year medical students consisting of standardized patient (SP) cases representing cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Methods: Student small groups rotated through four SP encounters. For each case, one student performed the history, after which the whole small group listened to audio files of heart sounds, interpreted an ECG, and collaboratively developed a prioritized differential diagnosis. The CV course director met with students for a large-group debrief, highlighting key learning points. We collected learners' evaluations of the event through an online survey. Results: Of students, 276 participated in this activity over the course of 2 years. Nearly all students assessed the activity as Discussion: SP encounters representing CV conditions can effectively provide opportunities for students to integrate basic science knowledge and clinical skills. Students assessed the activity as helpful and engaging.
