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

introductionPatients commonly seek medical advice with dizziness symptoms. One of the common subtypes of dizziness is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The American Academy of Neurology recommends that physicians should be trained in the physical maneuvers for the treatment of BPPV. METHODOLOGY: The study participants were educated about BPPV using Gagne's instructional strategy. Before and after the education, three parameters were used for assessing their knowledge and skills about BPPV. Twenty MCQs for knowledge assessment and two skill stations, Dix-Hallpike test (DH) and canalith repositioning maneuver (CR) were used. An experienced emergency medicine (EM) faculty supervised the assessment.

resultsNineteen EM residents participated in the study; mean age was 28.4 years (±1.7). Twelve (63.15%) were male, and seven (36.9%) were female. The median score before the course for the DH test was 2 (1.7-3.0) and improved to 5(4.0-5.0). Similarly, CR's median score improved from 2 (1.0-2.3) to 5 (4.7-5.0). Both of these skills improved by 60%. Pre-intervention MCQs mean score was 15.2 (14.4-16.1), which increased to 18.0 (17.4-18.6). MCQs improvement was recorded as 14%.

conclusionThe educational plan delivered by utilizing the Gagne's instructional design has resulted in significant improvement of the knowledge about BPPV.
