Development and evaluation of a pre-clerkship spiral curriculum: data from three medical school classes.
Article in Medical education online, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Pre-clerkship curricula of most Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-accredited medical schools are divided into blocks by organ system, leaving a significant amount of information susceptible to loss due to prolonged nonuse. We describe the implementation of a formal Spiral Curriculum that periodically revisits material from previous blocks. Learners were surveyed on receptivity to the curriculum across three graduating classes at a single medical school. Medical school graduate classes of 2020, 2021, and 2022 were surveyed at the end of their pre-clerkship years (2018-2020). The class of 2022 actually received the Spiraled Curriculum intervention, for which the authors created 500 board exam style multiple-choice questions, periodically administered via mandatory in-class sessions ranging from 10 to 20 questions reviewing content from previous blocks with designated expert faculty. Response rates were 36% (
