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

As awareness increases of the fundamental role of the arts and humanities in medical education, teachers must expand their skills to include arts-based pedagogical methods. With strong evidence to support its use with medical learners, Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) is an arts-based method increasingly being adopted in medical education. VTS provides a structured way of leading interpretative discussions prompted by works of art. However, the simplicity of its structure can be deceiving. As with other teaching skills, faculty development is needed to train educators in VTS facilitation. This is essential not only to optimize VTS' benefits to participants, but - when VTS is implemented in research studies - to prevent doubts being cast on its impact on medical learners. Educators can apply the twelve tips on facilitating VTS described in this article to guide fruitful facilitation of VTS among medical learners, as well as to enhance discussion-based teaching in general.
