Use of audience response systems (ARS) in physiotherapists' training: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the experience of using audience response systems (ARS) in postgraduate physiotherapy training.
designQualitative interview study following the 'reflexive thematic analysis' by Braun and Clarke.
settingHigher education university.
participantsTen Italian students (60% men, N=6; 40% women, N=4) agreed to partake in the interviews.
resultsWe generated four themes. Specifically, the ARS were perceived: (1) as a 'Shared Compass' (theme 1) between the student and the lecturers to monitor and modify the ongoing students' learning journey; (2) useful to 'Come Out of Your Shell' (theme 2) as they help students to overcome shyness and build a team with peers; (3) as 'A Square Peg in a Round Hole' (theme 3) as they should not be used in situations that do not suit them; (4) as 'Not Everyone's Cup of Tea' (theme 4) as mixed opinions among ARS' utilities were found under some circumstances (eg, memorisation process and clinical reasoning).
conclusionPhysiotherapy lecturers must use ARS critically, respecting when (eg, not at the end of the lesson) and how to propose them, keeping in mind that some skills (eg, practical ones) might not benefit from their use. Moreover, they need to consider that the ARS are not a tool for everyone, so ARS must be integrated into a multimodal teaching paradigm.
