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
objectiveIn many medical schools, students are exposed to obstetrics for 2 weeks during the third-year obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Hence, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a curriculum combining online obstetric modules and a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) simulation on medical student knowledge and comfort pertaining to obstetrics at the start of the clerkship.
methodsStudents completed the curriculum at the start of the clerkship. They completed questionnaires before and after each module and the simulation. The questionnaires assessed knowledge, management comfort level, and satisfaction with module/simulation. Comfort level and satisfaction scores were based on a 1-5 Likert scale (1 = very uncomfortable/unfavorable, 5 = very comfortable/favorable). Satisfaction scores for online modules were compared with those for a historical cohort of traditional lectures on the same topics. Students also rated satisfaction with the curriculum.
resultsSixty students participated. Mean knowledge and comfort scores significantly increased from 7.2 to 9.2 ( DISCUSSION: An obstetric curriculum consisting of online modules and simulation significantly increases medical student learner knowledge and comfort and is associated with a high level of satisfaction.
