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: Simulation-based learning (SBL) can complement current Indian Physiotherapy clinical education in a multitude of ways. As a first step towards integrating SBL into clinical education, it would be valuable to investigate Physiotherapy teachers' perspectives on the modality. Aim: The present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of SBL among Physiotherapy teachers in India. Methods: Physiotherapy teachers' knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding SBL were evaluated via a pretested structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics analyzed knowledge and practice domains, while Likert scores assessed attitudes. The chi-square test was used to analyze the relation between favorability and demographic aspects, knowledge, and practice domains. Using the statistical significance at Results: Out of the total 171 participants recruited, 151 (88.30%) were aware of simulation, leading to further questioning for knowledge, practice, and attitude. Among these 151 participants, 41.8% reported lacking a simulation facility in their institution, while 29.10% had used simulation in their academic practice. 29.14% of participants showed highly favorable and 70.86% showed moderately favorable attitudes towards SBL. No significant relation was observed between attitude and demographic variables like age, designation, gender, and university type ( Conclusions: A majority of participants from various Indian Physiotherapy educational institutes were aware of the use of SBL in Physiotherapy education, but there was a lack of practical implementation. The study revealed the Physiotherapy academia's positive attitude towards incorporating simulation-based learning (SBL) in physiotherapy education, despite challenges in implementing SBL.
