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

Introduction: Students have ranked head and neck anatomy as one of the most complex areas to learn as it contains highly detailed spaces. Incorporating a head and neck escape room activity into anatomy curricula provides an engaging and effective way for the students to review these spaces and their relationships. Methods: We piloted a head and neck escape room activity for the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine students (round A) and implemented a modified version for the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School students (round B) as an anatomy review. We utilized a mixed-methods analysis to determine the activity's effectiveness in reviewing this content and garner students' perceptions. Results: Students ( Discussion: While the escape room may not have shown significant improvement in knowledge, integrating this active learning tool does help students identify gaps in their knowledge and requires the utilization of various skills, which can make students better health care professionals.
