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

backgroundExperiential learning sessions as a teaching aid have been applied early in the medical undergraduate curriculum to improve the knowledge and inculcate research interest. We compared the ability of 1 SUBJECTS AND

methodsA randomized controlled trial was carried out with 200 1

resultsOn CVR and CVI assessment, all the questions scored more than 0.70 and 0.85, respectively. Cronbach's alpha for the whole questionnaire was 0.85. Student's feedback indicated that these sessions did complement the cognitive skills acquired for these techniques. We also found a statistically significant improvement (

conclusionExperiential learning, through demonstration and hands-on experience, enhance d the learning of molecular biology techniques among 1
