Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06418815 (Effect of Concept Map on Nursing Students' Ability to Assess Toxic Stress in Newborns), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

aimConcept maps hold great potential for the students as it helps in the formulation of new concepts as well to evaluate the learning ability of the students. However, the use of concept maps as a teaching tool in medical students in India has not been explored, to the best of our knowledge. This study was conducted to assess the use of concept maps in improving learning among medical students. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was conducted among III MBBS students belonging to two batches. This study was carried out in two stages. In first stage, pretest was taken to test the knowledge of students. Later, introductory class was taken on tuberculosis and concept map was used to explain the given concept and later posttest was taken. In second stage, feedback was taken from the students regarding the concept map. Pre- and post-test results were compared using Wilcoxon test.

resultsSignificant difference between pretest (4 ± 1.593) and posttest (10 ± 0.762) score was seen (

conclusionConcept maps are found to be an effective teaching and learning tool for medical students. They can be used to enhance meaningful learning in students and can be practiced more in the students for better understandings of the concepts.
