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

Spaced learning and retrieval-based learning are two powerful learning tools that have repeatedly been shown to be effective learning strategies. Team-Based Learning (TBL) is a collaborative learning and teaching approach that is evidence-based and promotes active learning. To combine these learning strategies, we designed a TBL-centered preclinical curriculum that uses the readiness assurance test (RAT) as a low-stakes weekly summative assessment to promote spaced learning and retrieval-based learning. Since student preference for massed learning over spaced learning is well established, a TBL-centered curriculum designed to encourage spaced and retrieval-based learning may be beneficial to student learning.
