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

The main objective of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is to develop problem-solving skills, collaborative learning skills, self-directed learning skills, communication skills, deeper learning skills, lifelong learning skills, and better retention in the students to equip them better in their professional careers. Unlike the traditional curriculum which is mainly based on didactic lectures, PBL is based on a group of students working on a problem and solving it. PBL is a promising teaching and learning tool that can be adopted in all fields, especially in Medical and Dental curricula.
