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

backgroundEthic education as a part of medical school curriculum is one which requires constant re-evaluation and re-emphasis. The medical regulatory body of India has, in recent times, introduced a revised module of the same, which is implemented across the country in all medical schools. Medical students' perception of ethics education is an important variable which will influence the validity of this module. This study attempts to evaluate the same. MATERIALS AND

methodsA peer-validated questionnaire was distributed to 150 undergraduate and postgraduate medical students (response rate: 74.4%) with the aim to evaluate their attitude toward knowledge of ethics, and their perceptions of contents and methods of learning ethics.

resultsA significant number of students recognize the importance of medical ethics knowledge and its positive impact on their career (

conclusion"Deliberate teaching" has been accepted as a source of learning ethics by all students, though undergraduate students also favored learning about ethics "during practice." Perceptions have been identified that need to be addressed. The study reveals a need to further explore the purpose and contribution of role models in this context and to identify ways of strengthening their related perceptions by students.
