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 and purposeDuring the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, experiential education became challenging as sites began to cancel scheduled rotations, and the University of Florida College of Pharmacy had to cancel the first advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) block. This was allowable given the excess number of experiential hours built into the curriculum. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY AND

settingTo meet total program credit hour requirements, a six-credit virtual course was created to mimic an experiential rotation. This course was designed to bridge didactic learning with experiential learning. The course included presentation of patient cases, topic discussions, pharmaceutical calculations, self-care cases, disease state management cases, and career development.

findingsStudents provided feedback via a survey containing 23 Likert type questions and four open-ended questions. Most students agreed or strongly agreed that participation in self-care scenarios, small group discussions (calculations and topic discussion), and disease state management cases (preceptor dialogue and verbal defense activities) were valuable learning experiences. The verbal defense portion of the disease management case and the self-care scenarios were the most highly rated learning activities. Peer review activities in the career development assignments were seen as the least beneficial component of the course. SUMMARY: This course allowed students an opportunity to further prepare for APPEs in a unique learning environment. The college was able to identify students requiring additional support during APPEs and provide earlier intervention. Additionally, data supported exploring incorporation of new learning activities into the current curriculum.
