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

Introduction A quasi-experimental study was conducted to assess students' attitudes toward the flipped practical classroom and evaluate its effectiveness in teaching practical anatomy. Methods Two survey questionnaires were developed: the first assessed students' attitudes toward flipped practical classrooms, while the second focused on the obstacles and difficulties students might encounter in this learning environment. Results We found that students rated flipped learning significantly higher compared to other teaching methods, particularly in terms of the quality of learning materials, enhancement of learning skills, engagement and understanding of anatomy topics, and problem-solving abilities. The highest mean examination grades were observed for the pretest flipped modality, followed by the pretest small group discussion (mean scores: 82.72 vs. 54.46, F = 43.2, P = 0.004). Conclusions Students hold positive attitudes toward flipped classrooms and small group discussions compared to traditional classes.
