Is there a difference between distance and in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in decentralized settings?

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
Objectives: This study aimed to explore differences in the effects of online and in-person decentralized learning programs on students' satisfaction, attitudes toward community healthcare, and career intentions. Methods: This cross-sectional study used questionnaires administered before and after Kobe University's rural decentralized learning program (conducted in-person in 2018 and 2019 and online in 2020). Of the 208 medical students who participated in any of these three, 198 were included in this study. Questionnaires had ten items regarding program satisfaction, students' attitudes toward community healthcare, and career intention. Difference-in-differences analysis using linear regression was performed for the online and in-person programs' pre-post score differences. Results: Both programs showed improved scores for most outcomes. However, the difference-in-differences analysis indicated significant differences in the enjoyment of the program (F Conclusions: The components of Kobe University's rural decentralized learning program could not be adequately replaced online. Further research should determine which components can be effectively replaced online and what results can be achieved when online programs consciously constructed to include such elements are compared to in-person programs.
