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

Gamification involves using gaming elements in education to capture learners' attention and motivate participation, offering innovative solutions to traditional teaching challenges. In various fields gamification enhances learning by fostering competition, collaboration and peer learning. In the realm of medical education, innovation is key to foster knowledge acquisition, critical thinking and skill development. Family physicians, dealing with comprehensive care, emphasize preventive measures like family planning and contraception. Effective contraceptive education is crucial not only for providing patient-centered reproductive healthcare but also to address the unique needs and preferences of a diverse patient population. To make learning more engaging we incorporated the board game "Snakes and Ladders" into a didactic session for family medicine trainees. Divided into teams, they solved case-based questions linked to game progression. Feedback indicated the session was more engaging and enjoyable compared to traditional lectures and they wish to see similar teaching methods in future academic sessions.
