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

backgroundIn the teaching of Pedodontology, the combining of online and on-site teaching is becoming more and more widely used. This study aims to evaluate its impact on students' academic performance and satisfaction, attempting to discover potential teaching innovations.

methodsUndergraduate students majoring in Stomatology, a five-year program of Fujian Medical University, were selected as the research subjects. The 2021 cohort, serving as the experimental group, was taught using online and on-site methods during the pandemic, while the 2018 cohort, as the control group, received traditional teaching. Final exam results and satisfaction questionnaires from both groups were compared.

resultsOne hundred and twenty responses were received with a response rate of 100%(120/120). Compared with the control group, the experimental group's theory test scores increased by an average of 0.54 points and the practical skills test scores increased by an average of 2.11 points, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). The questionnaire suggested that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements over the control group in stimulating learning enthusiasm, enhancing learning efficiency, promoting autonomous learning, problem induction, and problem-solving abilities (P < 0.05). In terms of satisfaction, students' satisfaction with this course has increased by 10% (P < 0.05).

conclusionDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the online and on-site teaching approach adopted in Pedodontology has been proved to be effective in improving student satisfaction.
