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

Background: Case-based learning (CBL) is currently used in multiple health-care settings around the world. Case Sharing is a WeChat mini-program created by the Chinese Medical Association Publishing House, providing a platform for doctors to record, discover, and discuss clinical cases, allowing cases to be widely disseminated and realize greater value. This research study evaluates, for the first time, the feasibility of utilizing the Case Sharing platform for CBL in our clinical endodontics training. Methods: The CBL on Case Sharing consists of 4 modules: (1) Residents upload cases to the Case Sharing platform; (2) All residents independently study the cases in advance, formulate questions related to the cases, and propose potential diagnoses and treatment plans; (3) Online meetings for group discussions are conducted; (4) Teachers in every group provide a summary. The participants in the CBL course were 48 residents (1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-year residents) at the School of Stomatology, Wuhan University, China. Then, a 12-item electronic questionnaire was distributed to 48 residents. Results: The majority of participants exhibited positive attitudes toward the CBL course on Case Sharing platform, attributing its value to the collaborative learning experience that facilitated a faster acquisition and understanding of common diseases of endodontics. Conclusions: The Case Sharing platform, as described, breaks through the spatial and temporal constraints of traditional CBL. Residents can gain insight into others' perspectives, enriching their clinical perspectives from multiple angles. Our experience indicates that the application of Case Sharing on CBL contributed to the authentic practice of the endodontics clinical course.
