Methods of collecting and recording attendance of medical students in a classroom: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2023. 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
backgroundRecording the attendance of students is an important affair for schools, colleges, and universities. It is required to be compliant with the regulations set by the board or universities, as it helps to calculate cumulative attendance to determine the eligibility of a student for university examinations. Furthermore, it is crucial for the administration to have a record of who is on campus in case of an emergency. However, literature on various attendance methods that are in practice around the world is scarce. Hence, this review aimed to conduct a systematic literature review to find the current methods of recording attendance in a classroom. MATERIALS AND
methodsRelevant literature was searched in PubMed using the keywords "attendance," "method," and "classroom," and cross-references were also checked. Gray literature was also searched. The studies were screened for their content to determine their relevance to this review. A total of eight articles were included in the final systematic review.
resultsThe literature suggests that the methods of recording attendance in a classroom can be broadly divided into three categories: teacher-led, student-led, and automated methods. In teacher-led methods, the teacher takes the responsibility of recording the attendance by actively implementing the method, and students respond (e.g., roll call by a teacher). In the student-led methods, the students take the responsibility to record attendance, while the teacher may act as a facilitator (e.g., signing in on a paper circulated among students). The newly introduced automated method requires little intervention from the teacher or students (e.g., radio-frequency identification (RFID)-based attendance).
conclusionThis review discusses the attendance recording methods in a classroom and explores the characteristics of these methods, along with their major advantages and disadvantages. Prospective teachers can gain insight into these methods and adopt suitable ones appropriate for their classrooms after assessing their suitability using the evaluation method suggested in this review.
