Changes in oral pathology teaching methods during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on student performance (oral pathology teaching changes during the COVID-19 pandemic).

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
Abstract Background/purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has influenced the dental education in Osaka Dental University. The purpose of this study was to summarize the impact of COVID-19 on student performance and the current more appropriate teaching methods by comparing the changes in various oral pathology exam results before and after COVID-19. Materials and methods: The experimental and control groups consisted of second year students in the department of dentistry at our university for the years 2019 (136 people) and 2020 (125 people). The impact of different teaching methods on student performance was compared by calculating the mean scores and percentage of failures on various exams and whether or not class credits were earned between the two years. A Results: The mean scores on the mini-tests were lower in 2020 than in 2019, while the average score of the intermediate exam and the number of students receiving class credits were higher. The mean scores on the practical and unit exams were not statistically significant between the years, but the failure rate on both exams was higher in 2019 than in 2020. Conclusion: COVID-19 had impacts on student performance. A comparison of the mean scores on the exams revealed that the use of microscopy, oral questions, and online animations contributed to improved performance on different exams. Therefore, to promote students' understanding and retention of memorized knowledge of oral pathology, the use of microscopes will be resumed whenever possible, as well as continuation with oral questions and online animations.
