The Use of Pharmacology-Focused Journal Clubs in Health Sciences Education: A Descriptive Study.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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: Physicians and nurses have a responsibility to provide evidence-based care to patients, which requires continuing education. The journal club model is an educational and collaborative tool widely used in healthcare for this purpose. However, further studies investigating the effectiveness and perception of participants are needed. The aim of this study is to explore the experience of medical and nursing students with the journal club approach applied to the subject of pharmacology. Methods: Journal club sessions were developed within the pharmacology class of the medical and nursing degrees during the academic year 2023-2024. A total of 208 students participated in the study. 90 students (43.3%) were enrolled in the nursing degree course, while 118 (56.7%) were enrolled in the medical degree course. Students' perceptions were assessed through a qualitative questionnaire of 30 questions with 3 options. Results: This study validated that this format is effective as a learning model, enhancing educational competences and non-educational competences required in health professionals. Our results showed the good acceptance of this format. Conclusion: It is concluded that the journal club strategy enhances the educational and non-educational skills necessary for doctors and nurses to develop the competencies required in today's world.
