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

Design thinking is a human-centred, iterative process that aims to develop innovative solutions tailored to user needs. This article examines the groundwork and incorporation of design thinking in healthcare and medical education, highlighting its potential benefits in dental education, including enhancements in learner-centred approaches, faculty development, interprofessional collaboration, and person-centred care. Design thinking methods foster learner engagement, aligning with cognitive and constructivist learning theories. Active engagement and discourse among learners create meaningful learning experiences, benefiting from a "learning by doing" approach. Further, design thinking processes ensure critical thinking and collaborative learning, supporting active engagement with prior knowledge and constructive feedback skills. Thus, applying design thinking in dental education could deepen learners' understanding with improved problem-solving skills, ultimately leading to effective learning outcomes.
