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

Background: Community service-learning activities (CSL) have been integrated into medical schools for several years. However, little data exists to understand the impact of this type of activity on students and communities. The purpose of this research was to explore the effect of a mandatory community-based training activity offered to medical students. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was conducted with students and their host community organizations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 1st and 2nd year medical students who participated in CSL activities (pre Results: Experiences in a variety of socio-economic and cultural settings contributed to students' understanding of the concept of social vulnerability. CSL also generated a better understanding of the importance of community organizations in helping these vulnerable individuals. Conclusion: In the context of CSL, a better understanding of the individual and community organization factors that contribute to the development of competencies related to practice in a context of vulnerability is necessary to allow for a significant and often transformative experience for future physicians.
