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 education process in paramedical faculties is influenced by various factors affecting students' learning.The present study aimed to assess the quality of clinical learning environments in the paramedical faculty of Kurdistan-Iraq Universities of Medical Science.

methodsThis study used a cross-sectional survey based on convenience sampling, involving 552 paramedical students and 125 professors from relevant departments within Kurdistan-Iraq's medical sciences universities. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics, including frequency, mean, standard deviation,, t-test and ANOVA, conducted using SPSS version 22.

resultsThe mean scores of the overall DREEM scores for students and professors were 115.07 ± 31.65 and 95.16 ± 12.67, respectively. Significant differences were observed in students' fields of study and in all areas of the attitudes questionnaire. Additionally, a significant difference was found between professors' degrees in the scientific ability subscale of attitude towards the fields, and characteristics of clinical learning environments (p < .05).

conclusionThe findings suggest relative satisfaction among professors and students with the clinical education environment within the paramedical faculty.
