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

backgroundRealistic simulation in health professional education can be costly or cumbersome. ACTIVITY: A low-cost, tablet-based simulated "virtual shelf" of over-the-counter (OTC) medications, hyperlinked to Drug Facts labels, eliminated use of physical product boxes or printed drug lists in objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE) for Doctor of Pharmacy students learning to provide OTC advice. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The application reduced instructor preparation and OSCE administration time by allowing students to tap product options instead of thumbing through medication lists. The shelf is realistic, easily updated, and transferable to other OSCEs when visual recognition is important or treatment options change frequently.
