Evaluation of an evidence-based veterinary medicine exercise for instruction in clinical year of veterinary medicine program.

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
introductionEvidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) is a fundamental core competency for new graduates. Our objectives were to evaluate clinical students' use, understanding of, and confidence in EBVM before undertaking an exercise consisting of an hour seminar in conjunction with a medical librarian, followed by a journal club and to evaluate students' knowledge of and ability to apply EBVM following the exercise.
methodsIn this cohort study, students undertaking a large animal ambulatory rotation completed questionnaires before the seminar, following the journal club, and at graduation. Students took a Fresno test evaluating EBVM knowledge at the end of the rotation.
resultsPrior to the seminar, 94% of students defined EBVM at least somewhat accurately, and 51% reported EBVM was at least 'quite important'. During previous rotations, 71% of students had performed literature searches to answer a clinician-assigned question; 89% had done this to answer their own questions. Students with previous research or EBVM training were more likely to perform self-directed literature searches. The most frequently used resource was textbooks. Eighty-seven per cent and 90% of students found the seminar and journal club, respectively, at least moderately useful in improving EBVM knowledge.
conclusionsOur results support the inclusion of an EBVM exercise during the clinical year and suggest spaced repetition may be helpful in teaching this topic.
