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

Introduction: As a solution to a decrease in curriculum time and the continuous growth of student-staff ratio, the Ghent University uses near-peer teaching (NPT) in neuroanatomy practical sessions. To improve learning outcomes, students involved in NPT created an online module. This study evaluated the added value of the online module and investigated tutees' learning experience with NPT. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on second-year medical students who followed a model trajectory. Their completion rate of the online module and results of pre- and posttests on the practical session content, the spotter test, and the theoretical exam were evaluated. Additionally, all second-year medical students were invited to complete a questionnaire on NPT and practical experience. Results: A total of 253 second year students were included. Their completion rates of the online module were moderately correlated with the spotter exam results ( Conclusion: An online neuroanatomy learning module stimulates active learning and can be helpful to improve students' spotter test and neuroanatomy exam scores. NPT is a valuable teaching resource and is generally well perceived in delivering high-quality education.
