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

backgroundThe curriculum system is a central component in achieving the goals and specifications of talent training schemes. However, problems and difficulties exist in curriculum provision due to a lack of curriculum system design logic. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the university curriculum system and graduate quality and to reveal the design logic of the curriculum system.

methodsA total of 699 stomatology graduates from a university in Zhejiang were selected as research subjects from 2015 to 2022. The students' curriculum system and graduate quality data were collected and classified. The graduate quality information contained (1) the National Board Dental Examination (NBDE) pass rate and score, (2) the postgraduate entrance rate and destination, and (3) the employment rate and work institution. Regression analysis was also conducted to assess the correlation between the curriculum system and graduate quality.

resultsRegression analysis revealed significant associations between general education, specialization, and stomatology X courses and NBDE score, postgraduate entrance rate and destination, and work institution. All courses except public elective courses had significant impacts on NBDE score. General basic, medical English, and employment guidance courses significantly influenced the postgraduate entrance rate and destination. Restricted elective and public elective courses had significant effects on employment rate and work institution.

conclusionsIncreasing the quality of specialized and stomatology X courses in the curriculum system is beneficial for deepening graduates' expertise and enhancing their education. Moreover, English courses are suggested to be offered in the early stage to lay a better language foundation.
