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 and Aims: The primary teaching approach known as "traditional lecture" has drawbacks, including being dull and reducing student participation, which has made students feel negatively about it. It seems that by implementing certain changes, active learning techniques like the "Audience Response System" could alter students' perceptions of lectures. The purpose of this study is to find out how employing "ARS" throughout a course has affected nursing students' perceptions of traditional lectures. Methods: In present research, 44 nursing students participated in quasi-experimental study (Pretest-Posttest Design). A 5-item, 5-point Likert questionnaire and a pre-test question regarding the degree of participation during lecture were used to gauge the students' attitudes towards lectures. Following that, a six-session pharmacology course including "Lectures + ARS" was held. Following the completion of the course, the original questionnaire, a posttest question regarding attitudes, and four 3-point Likert items regarding students' opinions regarding the use of ARS going forward were used to assess changes in the students' attitudes towards lectures. SPSS Ver. 26 was used for the data analysis. Results: In comparison to before the course, the students' attitudes towards lectures had changed in a positive and significant way, specifically in items such as learning quality improvement, decreasing boredom, increasing participation and class activity. However, in the domain of "decreasing the use of lecture," the ARS had failed to change the students' attitudes. 79.6% of students stated that the ARS had changed their attitudes towards lectures. More than 90% of students agreed with continued use of ARS in the future. Conclusion: Lecturing could transform from a passive position to an active position by implementing ARS. Lecture + ARS could lead to improvement in students' class participation and activity, both of which are essential factors of an optimal education.
