The value of Life Sciences in an Integrated Curriculum: A Reflective Perspective of studying two Life Sciences Degrees a decade apart and the challenges faced in professional life.
Article in MedEdPublish (2016), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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. In a recent MedEdPublish article by Keenan and Jennings (2017), I was interested in why some Life Sciences are under-represented in the wider medical literature. The article states anatomy to be the dominant discipline within medical schools and describes a close link between anatomy and educational research with the presence of an "established medical education research community and social media community linked to anatomy". Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case with other scientific disciplines. In my career, I have been fortunate to have studied both Pharmacy and Medicine as an undergraduate. I also possess an MSc in Clinical Pharmacy and am undertaking an MSc in Clinical Research. I have seen at first-hand how integral the Life Sciences are in the practice of Pharmacy and Medicine. It is therefore necessary that, like anatomy, other Life Sciences should enjoy a similar commitment to "maintaining a scholarly approach to teaching and learning ( Keenan and Jennings, 2017). Currently, I am an Academic Clinical Registrar in Anaesthesia working in the North-West. I am part funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Considering my background, I would like to share a personal reflection of my experience of undergraduate training and professional life. I will compare the undergraduate teaching styles I experienced whilst studying for my Pharmacy and Medicine degrees. I will also describe the challenges I faced and the moments of enlightenment I felt when I chose to embark on a career in academia with clinical practice.
