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 the process of education reform, carrying out continuous educational environment measurement is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of the medical education environment and learning autonomy in blended learning in pediatrics among clinical medicine students, as well as the relationship between these two constructs.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on clinical medical students from the First Clinical School of Wuhan University who had completed the blended learning courses of pediatrics. Perceptions of the medical education environment and learning autonomy were surveyed using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM) and the Autonomy in Learning Rating Scale for college students (ALRS), respectively. Independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted.

resultsA total of 487 students participated in the survey (valid response rate: 83.53%). Students' perceptions of the current medical education environment and learning autonomy were generally positive. Among the average scoring rates of DREEM, students' perception of teachers (SPT) > students' perception of learning (SPL) > students' perception of atmosphere (SPA) > students' academic self-perceptions (SASP) > students' social self-perception (SSSP), while learning strategies > learning motivation > self-regulation > content and environment among the average scoring rates of ALRS. Correlation analyses revealed that all subscales of the two were significantly associated with each other (P < 0.05). Regression analyses showed that SPA and SASP were significant factors for students' learning autonomy.

conclusionClinical medicine students who experienced blended learning in pediatrics had positive perceptions of the medical education environment, and their learning autonomy was good and closely related to the perceptions of the medical education environment. In the implementation of blended learning, continuous optimization of teaching content and proactive enhancement of the medical education environment will help enhance clinical medicine students' satisfaction with the educational environment and their learning autonomy. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
