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

Extended reality (XR) simulations are becoming increasingly common in educational settings, particularly in medical education. Advancing XR devices to enhance these simulations is a booming field of research. This study seeks to understand the value of a novel, non-wearable mixed reality (MR) display during interactions with a simulated holographic patient, specifically in taking a medical history. Twenty-one first-year medical students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill participated in the virtual patient (VP) simulations. On a five-point Likert scale, students overwhelmingly agreed with the statement that the simulations helped ensure they were progressing along learning objectives related to taking a patient history. However, they found that, at present, the simulations can only partially correct mistakes or provide clear feedback. This finding demonstrates that the novel hardware solution can help students engage in the activity, but the underlying software may need adjustment to attain sufficient pedagogical validity.
