The effects of a newly established online learning management system: the perspectives of Thai medical students in a public medical school.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundThere are obstacles for medical schools in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) to implement an online learning management system (LMS) during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019. Our medical school has developed and implemented tailored LMS for medical students and examine the acceptance and effects of this LMS on the medical students' learning outcomes and identify factors influencing their adoption of online learning.
methodsThis was a mixed-methods study using an online questionnaire and online semi-structured interviews with first-year medical students at one medical school in Thailand. The platform's monitoring system and questionnaire data were analysed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression.
resultsThe response rate was 55.5% (157/283). Most of the respondents agreed on the advantages and were very satisfied with their learning experience. The logistic regression showed that content quality (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.11-5.31) and perceived usefulness (AOR = 2.75; 95% CI = 1.02-7.39) were significantly associated with the acceptance of online learning among medical students. There was no association between the test scores and time spent in the course.
conclusionDespite limited evidence of LMS effectiveness in medical schools in LMIC, learning on a customised LMS appeared to be accepted, useful, user-friendly, and effective among medical students. The perceived usefulness and the content quality are associated with the acceptance of online learning. Medical schools in LMIC can develop their own LMS to ensure that it meets their learners' and faculties' needs. This study is a single-institution study, further large-scale studies are needed to ensure generalisability.
