The Postgraduate Educational Environment at a United Kingdom Dental School: A Quantitative Study Using a Modified Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure Questionnaire.

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
introductionQuantitative research on postgraduate (PG) dental students' perceptions of their educational environment is lacking. The aim of this research was to increase our understanding of taught PG dental students' educational environment.
methodsA modified Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire was distributed to PG students at the University of Bristol Dental School. DREEM scores in relation to five domains (learning, teaching, academic, atmosphere and social), as well as total DREEM scores, were derived. In addition, demographic and global questions relating to blended learning and teaching support were captured. DREEM domain and total scores were summarised using medians, interquartile ranges and full ranges. Demographic data and answers to additional global questions were categorised as frequencies and percentages.
resultsThirty-four participants (50% response rate) from four different taught PG programmes responded. Total DREEM scores suggest most PG students' perceived educational environment to be 'excellent' (55.9%) or 'more positive than negative' (41.2%). The highest scoring domain was teaching, while the lowest scoring was social. Global questions indicated good teaching support and acceptance of blending learning, although the reduced face to face peer/teacher contact did not meet the needs of some (20.5%) participants.
conclusionsAlthough the DREEM measure has been used widely in dental training, its use has been limited in PG dental settings. The teaching and learning environment at the University of Bristol was rated highly. The lower social scoring highlights potential deficiencies within the educational environment of these PG students.
