4Ms for Early Learners: A Skills-Based Geriatrics Curriculum for Second-Year Medical Students.
Article in MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: Given the growing population of older adults, it is of utmost importance for all future physicians to be trained in the core skills of conducting geriatric assessment. Methods: We designed an interactive, skills-based session introducing core competencies for geriatric assessment for second-year medical students (MS2s). We organized our curriculum for early learners based on the 4Ms framework: mind/memory, medications, mobility, and matters most. The session consisted of brief didactics with integration of real-time skills-based practice. Students completed pre- and postsession surveys to assess their confidence in their knowledge and skills. All students completed a geriatric assessment during a clinical skills encounter as part of a multistation, end-of-course, summative clinical skills examination (CSE). The session was conducted virtually over 2 academic years, and the CSE was conducted virtually in 2020 and in person in 2021. Results: One hundred ninety-nine MS2s participated in the session (100 in 2020, 99 in 2021). All students surveyed (33%) reported improved confidence in geriatric knowledge and skills by the end of the session ( Discussion: We provide an interactive curriculum for MS2s to develop geriatric assessment skills. The curriculum and assessment tools are versatile, can be easily integrated into any medical school curriculum, and can be effectively delivered in person or on a virtual platform.
