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

A core clinical skill medical students need to learn is obtaining an accurate blood pressure (BP) reading. We developed a standardized BP curriculum for first-year medical students. Medical students completed online modules and a hands-on skills session to learn BP skills. Pre- and post-surveys and an observed structured clinical encounter (OSCE) assessed student confidence and ability to accurately measure BP. Student confidence and mean OSCE scores (pre = 2.63, post = 6.51;
