Moving on From Self-assessment.

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
Self-assessment of knowledge and confidence is common in medical education, and there are both philosophical and practical to justifications for it. However, many attempts to establish a correlation between self-assessments of knowledge or confidence and objective measures of knowledge or skill acquisition have failed. While in some circumstances the inclusion or reliance of self-assessment may be warranted, for example when a study is specifically measuring traits or outcomes that rely upon meta-cognition or increases in confidence, it is more often the case that self-assessment is used as a substitute for more objective measures. This is demonstrably flawed, and
