An Objective Structured Clinical Exam on Breaking Bad News for Clerkship Students: In-Person Versus Remote Standardized Patient Approach.

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
Introduction: Telemedicine training for medical students is critical as that modality becomes integral to patient care. This formative standardized patient (SP) objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) lets students discuss miscarriage diagnosis and treatment virtually. Methods: The SP OSCE was a mandatory session during the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Students received immediate feedback and optional individual reviews with clerkship directors. Students completed a nonmandatory survey at the end to describe their experience. SPIKES protocol student responses (i.e., proportion of correct responses) from in-person and remote SP versions were compared. Results: Between July 2019 and March 2020, 79 students completed the in-person OSCE. Between July 2020 and June 2021, 149 students completed the remote SP encounter OSCE. Students who participated in the remote versus the in-person OSCE were more likely to admit their lack of knowledge when not equipped ( Discussion: The remote OSCE was well received by students. Breaking bad news virtually met assessment goals. Telemedicine training should be incorporated into medical school curricula.
