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

Background: Perceptual and adaptive learning modules (PALM's) provide a large number of visual examples for evaluation and accommodate to learner performance by actively adjusting the module parameters. Methods: We developed a module for discriminating 5 inflammatory reaction patterns using the Novel Diagnostic Educational Resource (NDER) platform. The module included a 20 question pre-test, a 200 question training section, and a 20 question post-test. During the pre-test and post-test, images were displayed for an indefinite period of time with no feedback given. In the training section, images were displayed for a duration inverse to learner performance, and after submitting their response learners were immediately shown the correct answer. The performance of module participants was compared to a control group who completed pre-test and post-test only. Results: 26 pathology and dermatology residents completed the module and were included in analysis. Pre-test and post-test scores showed an average increase of 17.1 percentage points (95% CI 13.0 to 21.2, Conclusions: Our findings validate the use of NDER for teaching inflammatory reaction patterns. Participants generally had favorable feedback regarding the interface and teaching potential of the module. Including a late re-test as part of the module would be beneficial in further validating future iterations. Next steps include optimizing module performance and developing module content for more advanced learners.
