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

objectivesThis study investigated the value of procedural skill acquisition in low-fidelity simulation labs for students entering a clinical setting during the mandatory one-month nursing internship.

methodsWe conducted a course that combined gross anatomy knowledge with the teaching of simple procedural skills. We analysed 299 students' opinions and then compared them with their assessment outcomes.

resultsThe survey results showed general satisfaction of students with the simulation-based course. Regarding the role of procedural labs as an adequate enhancement for traditional anatomy labs, students considered the basic procedural skills course as a strong alternative for traditional anatomy lectures and labs. Moreover, a comparison of participants' pre- and post-course answers indicated a significant increase in their anatomy knowledge.

conclusionsThis study thus indicated a positive perception of students about a course that employed innovative educational measures. In this way, the positive impact of teaching anatomical knowledge through basic procedures was noted.
