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
Background & Objective: Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an interactive instructional approach characterized by collaborative peer teaching in both large and small group settings. The study aims to assess usefulness of the TBL in enhancing student learning outcomes and engagement in graduate classes. Methods: This mixed method study was conducted from January 2023 till July 2023 at the Department of Biological & Biomedical Sciences at Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan, a questionnaire was distributed to graduate students in Endocrine and Reproductive course after TBL on 'Hormonal changes in Pregnancy'. Focus group discussion (FGD) was held with facilitator of this TBL and the students; results of both arms were then triangulated. Results: All (four) students responded affirmatively regarding guided self-preparation, quality of application exercises, satisfaction in terms of student's engagement, a positive attitude and self-accountability. Themes identified by FGD of both students and facilitators were 'Students Engagement in Peer Learning, 'Conducive Learning Environment', "Time is Capital in TBL' and 'Conceptual learning.' Conclusion: The pilot study confirmed the utility of TBL by students as well as the facilitators. Students came with prior preparation, got engaged in problem-solving activities and received feedback from peers and the expert facilitators. The conducive environment enhanced their engagement, enabled them to actively apply the content and benefit from guided supervision.
