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

backgroundCurriculum mapping describes the process indexing a curriculum to identify academic gaps. The first version of the National Competence-based Catalogue of Learning Objectives in Medicine (NKLM 1.0) was created to catalogue the content of medical studies and to promote the implementation of competence-oriented learning objectives. It is unclear and not transparent to what extent learning objectives are achieved in existing courses, particularly in clinical internships that cannot be standardized.

objectiveThe aim of the work was to map the achieved learning objectives of the NKLM 1.0. within a surgical internship from the students' perspectives. MATERIAL AND

methodsMedical students mapped their achieved learning objectives after a 2-week internship with an online questionnaire. In addition, sociodemographic data, the type of teaching hospital and the surgical specialty were recorded.

resultsA total of 81 students participated in the mapping. After the internship 8.78 ± 5.10% (min. = 1.01%; max. = 29.84%) of all learning objectives were achieved by the students. Most of the learning objectives come from section 1 "medical roles" with 29.92 ± 15.22% (min. = 0.00%; max. = 63.10%). From section 2 "medical knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes", learning objectives from chapters 14b "clinical practical skills" (15.49 ± 7.78%, min. = 0.00%; max. = 41.30%) and 14c "medical counseling technique" (22.98 ± 16.47%, min. = 0.00%; max. = 70.69%) were primarily named. There were no significant differences between the sexes, the surgical specialty or the size of the teaching hospital.

conclusionStudents state that they mainly achieve learning objectives in the area of medical roles and clinical practical skills during an internship. Additional teaching formats seem to be necessary to teach specific surgical skills, diagnostics and treatment.
