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: Preparing students for their future roles in preventive medicine is relevant, especially on the subject of nicotine consumption. We implemented a longitudinal smoking cessation counselling course as a part of the subject "prevention and health promotion". Beginning with 6 Methods: In this evaluative follow-up study, we used online questionnaires with Likert-scales, closed and open questions. Students of the 10 Results: Data of 114 students of the 10 Conclusion: To improve communicative skills in the area of behavioural change, it is important to combine theoretical content and practical implementation. The 5A model has proven due to its simplicity. Promoting good framework conditions in family medicine, such as sufficient time, is essential to give students the opportunity to practice counselling and increase their felt competence.
