The Correlation Between Cognitive Flexibility and Learning Strategies Adopted by Medical Students.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and objective The term cognitive flexibility refers to the ability of the students to adapt to a challenging environment. This quality has been found to enhance creativity and skills for innovation among medical students who are expected to face a taxing environment in clinical settings. Medical students should be competent enough to address the problems on their own and work with autonomy. The practice of self-regulated learning (SRL) can be associated with cognitive flexibility. Hence, this study aimed to determine the correlation between learning strategies and cognitive flexibility. Our primary objective was to correlate the different learning strategies adopted and cognitive flexibility among medical students. Material and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Sri Venkateshwaraa Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Ariyur, Pondicherry after obtaining institutional ethical committee approval. Students from the second year to the final year of the MBBS course who volunteered to participate in the study were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Motivated Strategy for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), consisting of 50 items in Part B, was employed to assess SRL. Cognitive flexibility was measured using the Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) and Trail Making Test (TMT) Part A and Part B. Results The study included a total of 220 medical students. The mean age of the participants was 21.76 ± 1.77 years, and they had a healthy mean BMI of 21.06 ± 1.25 kg/m
