Comparison of virtual microscopy and real microscopy for learning oral histology laboratory course among dental students.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background/purpose: Virtual microscopy has been used for learning and teaching histology and pathology laboratory course for more than 10 years. This study aimed to compare the learning outcome of virtual microscopy with that of real light microscopy in oral histology laboratory course among dental students. Materials and methods: The study included twenty-three undergraduate dental students who took the oral histology laboratory course. The evaluation methods of the study were divided into two parts: questionnaire survey (6 questions) and histological diagnosis ability assessment tests. The data were collected and analyzed statistically. Results: Dental students showed a significantly higher acceptance rate of virtual microscopy than that of real light microscopy for learning oral histology laboratory course (all Conclusion: Virtual microscopy with digitized virtual slides seems to be a great method to learn oral histology laboratory course. Based on the results of our study, we believe that the virtual microscopy with digitized virtual slides may gradually replace the real light microscopy with traditional glass slides for learning and teaching oral histology laboratory course. We foresee that virtual microscopy with digitized microscopic images will be extensively applied in many fields in the near future.
