Integrated course on ocular anatomy for ophthalmology clerkship.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundObtaining a full understanding of the anatomical structure of the eyeball and the contents within the eye plays a crucial role in learning eye diseases. However, it can be challenging for beginners to quickly learn, memorize, and apply this anatomical knowledge. To improve the teaching of ocular anatomy and help students overcome learning difficulties in ophthalmology clerkship, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center developed an integrated ocular anatomy course comprising three main components: 'online preview,' 'lecture,' and 'wetlab dissection'.
methodsFifty-five fourth-year medical students from Sun Yat-sen University were recruited for this study. The impact of the integrated course was evaluated through three in-class quizzes (T1: pre-teaching assessment, T2: post-wetlab training, and T3: end of clerkship) and assessments of students' self-confidence levels. Additionally, students' course evaluations were gathered via a questionnaire survey. Statistical analyses were conducted via ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test.
resultsThe integration course significantly improved the mean scores of post-teaching tests (67.08 ± 10.27 vs. 74.36 ± 12.75 vs. 78.81 ± 12.70, P < 0.0001) and the students' self-confidence scores (P < 0.0001). Fifty-four participants were satisfied with the integrated anatomy course (79.3% strongly agreed, 18.2% more agreed). Fifty-two participants agreed (76.4% strongly agreed, 18.2% more agreed) that the course could help them better understand the anatomy of the eye.
conclusionsThis integrated ocular anatomy course can aid students in better understanding and retaining the anatomy and function of ocular structures, serving as a valuable adjunct teaching strategy that can be further applied to ophthalmology clerkship.
