Using instant messaging applications to promote clinical teaching of medical students.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe main purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of Telegram as an Instant messaging application in clinical teaching of medical students, especially clinical ward rounds. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this quasi-experimental study, Telegram as an Instant messaging application was employed. To do this, a Telegram group entitled as "Lavender" was created and then selected patients were divided between students and externs daily. After that, students and externs were asked to take medical histories, perform complete physical examinations, and then share their data in the Lavender group. Ultimately, to evaluate the effects of this intervention, two quantitative and qualitative approaches were used.
resultsFrom the students' point of view the highest average was associated with "Readiness for teaching round" (3.71 ± 1.34) and the lowest average was related to "Time-saving for studying about illnesses" (2.08 ± 1.44). In addition, medical trainees mentioned that reporting patients' daily medical histories and progress notes could create a reflective process. The suggestion made by many medical trainees was to select and discuss simpler cases who have more teaching points for them, while other trainees recommended focusing on common illnesses in the Lavender group.
conclusionThe use of messaging software applications such as Telegram in medical education has created a new paradigm, which could facilitate interpersonal interactions among trainees.
