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

Purpose: To evaluate medical students' perceptions about using peer teaching (PT) in the online Clinical PBL (C-PBL). Materials and Methods: The C-PBL used in the Primary care Unit (PCU) of the medical course of the Ribeirao Preto University was adapted to the virtual environment. A PT session was included to enhance students' intrinsic motivation. This cross-sectional study applied a 14-item survey to evaluate the perceptions of 378 medical students from the first to the seventh semester about the use of PT in this context. Results: According to participants' perceptions, the use of PT in the online C-PBL allowed the interactive participation of students and produced satisfactory knowledge acquisition. Preparing and presenting a slideshow and being taught by peers contributed significantly to their learning. The survey used to collect information presented a high internal consistency measured by Cronbach's alpha. Conclusion: From the students' perspectives, the use of PT in the online C-PBL was satisfactory and improved learning for peer teachers and learners. This study contributes additional evidence suggesting that PT is an effective teaching strategy in online learning and can be associated with PBL. This finding has implications for curriculum development and the health system.
