What Do You Find Beautiful about Viruses? A Post-COVID Assessment Strategy.
Article in Journal of microbiology & biology education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the age of an ongoing pandemic and the ungrading movement, many instructors have been taking a closer look at their assessment methods. Assessment in science courses typically focuses heavily on checking understanding of underlying vocabulary and processes rather than highlighting an emotional connection to the material. For the final exam in a senior-level virus biotechnology course in Spring 2021, Fall 2021, and Spring 2022, an additional assessment question asking students what they found beautiful about viruses was implemented. Students highlighted a surprisingly large range of concepts, and all students received full marks for their thorough descriptions of their chosen concept. These responses were also interesting and joyful to grade as the instructor. Examples of responses and potential benefits of this approach are provided and discussed.
