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

The objective of this study is to compare student satisfaction and confidence following a presentation of the inner ear anatomy using either a 2D model or a 3D model. First-year medical students were randomized to a 2D or 3D teaching group and given a presentation on the inner ear. Students were surveyed on confidence levels pre- and post-presentation, helpfulness of the presentation, and completed the student satisfaction and self confidence in learning (SCLS) questionnaire. 30 first-year medical students participated in the study: 14 in the 2D model and 16 in the 3D model group. A statistical significance was found between the 2D and 3D group regarding the helpfulness of the model (
