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
aimThe training of scientific skills and competencies is an essential part of academic medical studies. As part of the MaReCuM model study program at Heidelberg University's Mannheim Medical School, a fifth-year rotation on scientific skills in the field of pain medicine was implemented. This paper describes this competence-oriented rotation as well as the investigation of the educational effect.
methodA total of 114 fifth-year medical students participated in the survey (response rate: 83%). The control group completed the fifth year prior to the implementation of the rotation. The experimental group was required to participate in the rotation and the real healthcare research study "Case management program: low back pain". A survey of both groups was conducted on the first day of the rotation and at the end of the module.
resultsThe innovative and competency-based learning unit was successfully implemented as part of the MaReCuM model study program and carried out with partners in general practice as well as the Mannheim Institute of Public Health. The participating students accepted the rotation well. There was no measurable effect on the subjective learning success of the rotation in the evaluation. DISCUSSION: To the authors' knowledge, this educational approach has never been tested before in a German study program. The presented rotation offers an additional option for the training of scientific competencies as part of medical studies. The missing of a measurable effect could be due to the extensive experience of the medical students as well as the limitations on participation in a real healthcare study. An additional learning opportunity could be created by connecting the preexisting lectures to a longitudinal module on scholarly competencies. The implementation of the program also offers a unique opportunity for educational research on the acquisition of scientific competencies in medical students.
