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

Background: The skill of reflective writing and emotional drivers of behavior is enhanced by boosting the awareness of one's feelings and emotions. Individuals having characteristic activity of reflection have more emotional quotient (EQ). EQ has more significance than intelligence quotient in personal and professional life. This study is conducted to analyze the impact of reflective writing skills on components of EQ among first-year MBBS students and to find out the impact of reflective writing between components of EQ and different levels of reflective writing skills among first-year MBBS students. Methods: An observational-analytical study was carried out for EQ self-assessment and reflections of first-year MBBS students. A paired t-test was used to check the difference between different segments of EQ. Analysis of reflections was done by modifying the REFLECT rubric method. Results: There was a significant difference in the motivation component between pre and post-test (p-value = 0.013), whereas no significant difference was observed in other components, viz. self-awareness, empathy, self-control, self-confidence, and social competency. The average total scores among EQ domains compared were more at the level of reflection than habitual and introspection levels. Conclusion: Along with intelligence quotient, EQ is critical for students' overall development. The average total scores of EQ were higher among the students who had a higher level of reflection. Developing reflective writing skills had an impact on the motivation component of the EQ of the students within a short duration.
