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

With the outbreak of COVID-19, there was widespread cessation of face-to-face teaching in medical schools from March 2020. 130 students in their first clinical year at a large London medical school were at risk of missing part of their clinical and practical procedure teaching. We mailed a teaching pack containing clinical consumables and gave instructions to prepare fruit, vegetables and kitchen sponges as a replacement for manikins. Students used cucumbers for bladder catheterisation, oranges for injections, bananas for suturing and cannulated sponges for practising intravenous drug administration. A student evaluation after the course was favourable. Hands-on practice had a positive effect on the students' feelings of belongingness and identity and helped them feel like they were not missing out or being left behind. Technology was challenging for both students and tutors. The intervention is being repeated for all incoming students from September 2020.
