[Case-based learning in thoracic surgery : A comparison between online and face-to-face teaching].

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
backgroundIn modern medical education, traditional face-to-face teaching is increasingly being supplemented by innovative teaching methods, such as case-based learning or e‑learning. AIM OF THE WORK: Design and evaluation of a new course concept in thoracic surgery to motivate students and at the same time find ways to relieve the medical staff in their teaching activities. MATERIAL AND
methodsAll students of the third clinical semester at the University of Regensburg completed a case-based course on the topic of pulmonary nodules in the summer semester 2016 and winter semester 2016/2017 as part of the practical course in thoracic surgery. This involved a moderated face-to-face seminar for one group of students and a purely online event for the other group. The knowledge gain and the subjective learning experience of the students were evaluated via questionnaires.
resultsA total of 190 students took part in the courses, 88 in the face-to-face course and 102 in the online course. Although both groups recorded a significant increase in knowledge as a result of the course intervention, the students in the face-to-face course showed significantly higher subjective satisfaction compared to their peers in the online course.
conclusionCase-based learning was shown to be a promising concept in thoracic surgery education, although establishing online learning procedures proved to be more challenging than presence-based teaching.
