Implementation of Chief Complaint-Based Clinical Reasoning Training in Periodontal Internships.
Article in International dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical skills highlights the need for clinical reasoning training curriculum in periodontal education, especially in periodontal internships. This study aims to develop a Chief Complaint-Based Clinical Reasoning Training (CCB-CRT) program and evaluate its impact on periodontal interns' clinical reasoning abilities and overall performance.
methodsThe CCB-CRT program was developed based on eight common chief complaints (CCs) identified through surveys of periodontal specialists and an analysis of patient visit data from a university-affiliated hospital's periodontal clinic. The study involved a comparison between a control group of fifth-year dental students (2021) and a CCB-CRT group (2022). Both groups completed an 8-week training course. The CCB-CRT group received additional training focused on the 8 common CCs, using student-led discussions, flipped classroom, mind mapping, and presentations. Evaluation criteria included overall performance, disease diagnosis and treatment plan, misdiagnosis rates, and students' satisfaction.
resultsAfter 1 year of CCB-CRT implementation, participants in the CCB-CRT group showed substantial improvements in overall performance, diagnostic accuracy, and satisfaction compared to traditional teaching methods. The program enhanced students' understanding of theoretical knowledge, improved their interpretation of clinical manifestations and examination results, and enhanced their clinical reasoning skills and diagnostic accuracy.
conclusionsThe successful application of the CCB-CRT program in periodontology education demonstrates its efficacy in improving clinical reasoning skills and diagnostic efficiency among students. The structured approach facilitates the transition from theoretical knowledge to practical application, contributing to better patient care in periodontal practice.
