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 intricate anatomy, narrow confines of each otolaryngological organ, and complex structures that are often concealed make it challenging to comprehend the fundamental theoretical knowledge required for early clinical practice teaching. Despite an increase in literature research on otological endoscopic surgery both domestically and internationally, there is a lack of reports regarding its application value, advantages, and disadvantages from a pedagogical perspective. This study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating otological endoscopic into otoscopy clinical practice teaching.

methodsIn July 2020, 10 doctors of standardized training for residents who were rotated in the department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (OHNS) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in 2019 were selected as the research objects. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was used randomly divided into control (n=5) and experimental (n=5) groups by drawing lots. The control group received traditional teaching methods through video instruction, while the experimental group received traditional teaching combined with otological endoscopic examination, operation, and instruction. After completing both theoretical exams and skill operation assessments, a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of each method.

resultsNo significant differences existed between groups in age, gender composition, or test scores before teaching. However, after completion of the course material, students in the experimental group scored significantly higher on both theoretical tests (42.90) and operational tests (49.60) compared to those in the control group (28.1, 32.70), respectively; this difference was statistically significant (

conclusionIncorporating otological endoscopic technology into otolaryngology education can enhance student engagement levels while improving overall learning efficiency by establishing standardized educational practices for future medical professionals.
