Is there a role for virtual reality in objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs)?
Article in MedEdPublish (2016), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Virtual reality is an area with fascinating possibilities. It has already revolutionised the entertainment industry, and over the last ten years, it has advanced similarly within the medical field. We have already seen virtual reality make a difference in a variety of ways. This ranges from improving the way surgical training is delivered, having a role in the management of chronic pain and now, it is even being considered in the treatment of psychiatric diseases. Currently, the application of virtual reality towards the training of health care professionals and medical education are concepts that are being explored. Within medical education and more specifically medical student training, the benefits of virtual reality have so far been limited to studies assessing its role in teaching. Very few studies exist looking at the role of virtual reality in the assessment of medical students. Therefore, in this article, we discuss the idea of utilising virtual reality for objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) and analyse the potential benefits and pitfalls of implementing this technology.
