Electives in undergraduate health professions training: Opportunities and utility.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Elective courses, as the name implies, are the courses fundamentally optional in nature. Such courses are offered to students to allow them to have diversified and specific learning experiences in the area of interest, beyond fixed curricular boundaries. Though, elective courses started gaining importance in health professions training during last century, their full potential is still untapped. With the introduction of massive open online courses, more such courses are on offer. This perspective discusses the opportunities available to introduce elective courses as well as the opportunities provided by the elective courses to improve students' learning and help in their professional development.
