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
introductionTeaching of human anatomy has undergone significant changes in the past three decades. At the University of Rwanda, anatomy is being taught using team-based learning (TBL). While student-generated multiple choice questions (MCQs) stimulate deeper thinking on a given topic, their impact on anatomy learning is not known. This study aimed to find out the impact of student-generated MCQs on the current anatomy teaching method at the University of Rwanda.
methodsIn this comparative interventional study, two similar chapters on anatomy were selected; one was taught using TBL while for the other one, in addition to TBL, students were encouraged to set MCQs while studying. Pre- and post-test scores were analyzed using SPSS 23 and the Student's
resultsThirty-one medical students were recruited. Pre-test mean scores were 25.10 and 25.19 out of 50 for chapters 1 and 2, respectively. Although the students' post-test scores improved after teaching for each chapter, the improvement was much greater for chapter 2 than for chapter 1, with mean scores of 39.97 and 32.45 out of 50, respectively (
conclusionThis study found that student-generated MCQs can be used as a simple and cost-effective tool to enhance TBL of anatomy.
