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

backgroundIn team-based learning (TBL), students actively participate in the learning process and are responsible for their learning through preclass studying and team work with other classmates. Evaluation of the TBL method by students provides information for its better implementation. Due to extensive use of TBL method in medical curriculum at medical universities, we aimed to develop a questionnaire for its evaluation from the viewpoints of students. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis mixed-method cross-sectional study with a Qual-Quan design was conducted on 168 medical students in the basic sciences stage of their studies. We evaluated students' satisfaction with this teaching method and its effectiveness by semistructural in-depth individual interviews until data saturation (12 interviews). We performed content analysis of the interviews and designed the questionnaire. Psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire were assessed in terms of content validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity through explanatory factor analysis.

resultsThe final tool was a 25-item questionnaire (reliability = 0.87 and α = 0.93) with five components of "learning enhancement," "satisfaction," "technical aspects," "teacher's capabilities," and "appropriate testing." Explanatory factor analysis showed that 64.68% of total variances were explained by these five components.

conclusionIn addition to academic performance outcomes, a successful instructional strategy should generate positive experiences for the learner. This study has created an assessment tool to be part of an evaluation process of the effectiveness of TBL in a given curriculum for medical students.
