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

Problem-based learning has been widely incorporated into pre-clinical medical education to increase the applicability of pre-clinical knowledge. However, studies have demonstrated increased learning burden and decreased confidence in learning when adapting to this didactic medium. To the authors' knowledge, limited interventions target these shortcomings in real time. Thus, we adapted and implemented a "Learning Assistants" (LA) program that can be deployed in pre-clinical didactic sessions. In this prospective pilot study, trained LAs were deployed in the classroom to assist students in their clinical case vignettes under instructor supervision. Learning assistants and students completed pre-session and post-session evaluation surveys to assess LA helpfulness, student confidence, and interest in study material. Paired observations were evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests, ANCOVA, and paired Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-023-01958-x.
