Introduction and evaluation of a clinical compulsory elective course on domestic violence.

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
Goal: Knowledge about domestic violence (DV) in medicine is often lacking, even though health professionals are often the first point of contact for victims of DV. A clinical compulsory elective course for medical students on DV was introduced to increase competences and knowledge on DV. The course is based on the didactic concept of the IMPRODOVA training platform [https://training.improdova.eu/en/] and was first piloted at the Medical School at the University of Muenster in summer 2020. The course was evaluated to assess whether it is suitable to increase knowledge and competences on DV. Accordingly, the following research questions were assessed: What competences and knowledge do students have about DV in general and how do students' competences and knowledge about DV change after participating in the course? Methods: Knowledge assessment on DV in general was based on two surveys conducted at the German universities of Muenster and Luebeck in 2020 and 2021. 54 medical students from Muenster (n=37) and Luebeck (n=17) participated. Muenster medical students were asked to complete a questionnaire within a two-week time period prior participation in the clinical compulsory elective course on DV. Luebeck medical students who had registered for a workshop on DV participated in the same survey prior to the webinar. 28 of the medical students in Muenster underwent in addition a post course assessment. The surveys were created using Questback's online survey research tool EFS using a 5-Point-Likert-Scale. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. The results are reported descriptively and differences between pre- and post-surveys were assessed by t-tests and effect sizes. Results: Knowledge assessment indicated that medical students had severe gaps in knowledge related to DV. Completion of an elective course has contributed to a significant learning and competence progress of the students in all DV subject areas. Conclusion: The newly established course is suitable to increase knowledge and competences on DV in medical students and should be included mandatory into the medical curriculum.
