A Study of Anatomy Teachers' Perception and Acceptance of the Anatomage Table Technology and Digital Teaching Materials in the Training of Medical and Allied Health Students.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 Anatomage Table is a modern technology that is used to enhance the teaching of human anatomy and related basic medical sciences to medical and allied health students. Its use is gaining popularity. This study considered anatomy teachers' perception and acceptance of the Anatomage Table technology and digital teaching materials in the training of medical and allied health students in African countries. MATERIALS AND
methodsValidated questionnaires were used. Altogether, 79 respondents fully participated in the study, with all African regions being represented as follows: Ghana, Nigeria (West Africa), Ethiopia Kenya Rwanda (East Africa), Namibia, South Africa, Zambia (Southern Africa), Egypt (North Africa), and Sudan (Central Africa). Responses were obtained from the electronic Google form, organized on Excel spreadsheets, and analyzed using the SPSS statistical software version 23.0 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY).
resultsIn terms of proportion, 29.1% of respondents reported that they had some level of mastery in using the Anatomage Table; with 6.3% of all the participants reportedly having a high mastery of this technology, 12% and 6% reported that they had an average mastery and low mastery levels, respectively. Participants' rating of their level of agreement with whether the Anatomage Table is a useful EdTech showed that 54.4% of them strongly agreed while 27.8% just agreed. The majority considered the use of the Anatomage as a means of embracing the global culture of technology-in-medical sciences (87.3%).
conclusionMost respondents would accept the technology as a complementary tool to support the existing traditional practices, especially cadaveric.
