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

backgroundA 1-year time-gap between first- and second-year neuroanatomy courses was created at our institution as a result of restructuring the curriculum from systems-based to an integrated format. Additionally, neuroanatomy hours decreased significantly (48.8%) when transitioning to an integrated curriculum, similar to other medical schools. Competency-based eLearning in medical education has shown promising results with decreasing overall learning time and improving accuracy. To date, competency-based eLearning has not yet been explored in neuroanatomy education.

objectiveThe purpose of this study is to develop and assess a novel competency-based neuroanatomy eLearning intervention for second-year medical students designed to bridge a 1-year time-gap, without adding significant instructional hours, in an integrated curriculum.

methodsA competency-based eLearning intervention encompassing the major tracts, brainstem anatomy, and an interactive case featuring a simulated patient experience was developed in the Articulate Storyline

resultsStudent usage data showed an average completion time of

conclusionA competency-based neuroanatomy eLearning intervention shows promising initial results to bridge a 1-year educational gap within an integrated curriculum. Overall, students described this educational tool as helpful and outlined ways in which to improve this resource.
