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

This monograph describes key aspects of medical education in a middle-income country such as Costa Rica, with an emphasis on public education. The main strengths and challenges of our curriculum are presented, as well as some recently implemented modernization measures to address the challenges described. Special attention is given to simulation training in medicine to promote systematic and integrative medical education in a problem-solving context. The SPICES model of educational strategies is used as a paradigm for curricular analysis. Finally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student, faculty, and staff acceptance of the curriculum modernization measures introduced is briefly discussed. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-023-01886-w.
