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 With the new competency-based curriculum coming into effect we need to introduce newer teaching-learning methods to help students improve their learning and acquire necessary knowledge and skills. Hence to integrate pharmacology with clinical sciences and involve the students in their learning process, case-based learning (CBL) has been found to be very successful. Therefore the present study was planned to introduce CBL as a new teaching-learning method in pharmacology and to know the perceptions of the students regarding this method.  Objectives The study aimed to introduce CBL to Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students as a method of teaching pharmacology and the perceptions of the students regarding CBL were noted. Methodology After seeking institutional review board approval and sensitizing the students and faculty about this new teaching-learning method, CBL sessions were conducted on a few topics. Perceptions of the students were recorded on a feedback questionnaire and the results were analyzed. Results Ninety-five percent of students agreed that CBL helped in better comprehension of the concepts. Ninety-six percent of the students found CBL interesting and 96% of students said that CBL will help them correlate pharmacology clinically. Conclusions The students felt that CBL is an effective learning tool and would promote the clinical application of pharmacology.
