Assessing Courseware: Insights From Medical Students on Textbook Efficacy in Palestinian Medical Contexts.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the medical textbook Methods: Data were collected from 216 medical students at a Palestinian university using a structured questionnaire. The survey, originally comprising 26 items, was refined to 13 items following measurement scale and factor loading analysis. The refined items focused on three core dimensions: communication proficiency (COM), content and features (CON), and language clarity (LAC). Statistical analysis explored the relationships between these dimensions and examined the moderating effects of gender and academic level. Results: The findings revealed significant positive relationships between textbook content and communication proficiency and between communication proficiency and language clarity. Gender significantly moderated the relationship between communication proficiency and language clarity, with female students demonstrating higher acceptance rates. However, the academic level showed no significant moderating effect. Conclusion: The study highlights the critical role of comprehensive content, effective communication strategies, and clear language in medical textbooks. It emphasizes the need to consider gender-based communication preferences and sociocultural factors when developing and assessing educational materials for medical students.
