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

backgroundHigher-order thinking (HOT) is widely recognized as an essential objective of health profession education (HPE). Based on Lipman's three-dimensional model of thinking, we investigated strategies for the development of HOT including critical thinking (CT), creative thinking, and caring thinking in HPE in three consecutive studies. Fostering students' CT is regarded as an outcome of HPE. However, there is the limited level of consensus on educational interventions for CT development. In view of some of the controversies surrounding the development of CT skills and dispositions in HPE, the aim of this study was to determine educational interventions affecting CT development in HPE. MATERIALS AND

methodThis study employed the best-fit framework synthesis design. The frameworks recommended by Abrami

resultsThe themes extracted from the HPE studies (including reflection, discussion, simulation, role-playing, questioning, and explicit expression of CT goals in curriculum) were similar to the

conclusionThe comprehensive framework of CT development methods provides a toolkit for medical educators. According to the results of the current study, the mixed approach, where CT is taught as an independent track, along with the discipline-specific CT development, seems to be more effective, compared to the immersion approach. Creating learning moments in the context of practice through experiential learning is noteworthy in the development of CT skills and dispositions. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the newly developed strategies, such as art-based learning and concept mapping.
