1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThere is a need to familiarize medical students with the specifics of video consultations. This paper presents the concept and tests of a digitally synchronous distance seminar in which medical students practice video consultations as an aid to a family physician's activity in a patient-oriented manner. The aim of the evaluation was to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (S.W.O.T.) of the teaching concept.

methodsA total of 12 students carried out video consultations independently and under medical supervision. The seminar included two elements: (A) All students and teachers were video consulted in a family practice; (B) A small group performed a video consultation in a patient´s home environment. The students' evaluation was conducted with two questionnaires (pre/post), which were analyzed with descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The S.W.O.T. analysis was elaborated by the author team based on the results of the questionnaires and the interviews with the teachers.

resultsStudents learned the limits and possibilities of teleconsultations and deepened their family medical knowledge. Strengths: Among others; increase interest in video consultations, patient contact, focused work. Weaknesses: Among others; technical difficulties and the time it requires. OPPORTUNITIES: Among others; involve students with multiple workloads in patient teaching. RISKS: Among others; no integration into the curriculum yet, few personnel resources.

conclusionsThe learning model familiarizes medical students with competences in family medical patient care using video communication. The results of S.W.O.T. analyses can be weighted differently. Project groups can decide individually if they want to integrate the learning concept into their curriculum and which further improvements are necessary.
