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

Aims and background: Competency-based medical education has been widely accepted across the globe and it has been adopted in the undergraduate curriculum in India from 2019. One introduction to this curriculum is the Electives postings. Electives are chosen by the students. The objectives of this project were to document the implementation of electives in emergency medicine for the medical undergraduates and to assess its effectiveness in terms of improving the knowledge and changing in perceptions of students. Materials and methods: The Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) instructional design approach was followed to prepare this electives module. The cross-sectional study was conducted on eight students who chose the emergency medicine elective for two consecutive years. The students were engaged in teaching learning activities and assessments for a duration of 15 days. They completed a pre- and post-course survey forms, pre- and post-tests and were given feedback on daily activities conducted. Results: All students gave positive response in terms of course conduct, satisfaction, gain in knowledge, and core skills of emergency medicine procedures. There was significant difference in student perception regarding the role of an emergency physician, triaging patients, taking history, examination, and management of life-threatening emergencies following the posting. All students showed noteworthy improvement in post-test scores compared with pre-course test. Conclusion: A structured 2-week elective posting in emergency medicine has a positive impression on student's perception regarding the specialty and has a remarkable advancement in knowledge and core skills of emergency medicine competencies.
