Virtual Learning in Obstetrics and Gynecology (VLOG): A Four-Day Distance Learning Course for Clerkship-Level Medical Students.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic created unique challenges for clinical medical education, as students and educators had to pivot to primarily distance learning. We aimed to develop a novel curriculum to engage students in continued learning and maintain clinical readiness.
designTo substitute for in-person Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) clerkship teaching during the pandemic, we created a structured, multi-media virtual course utilizing reading materials, podcasts, and videos for self-paced, student-controlled learning supplemented by virtual group discussions with faculty. Following course completion, students completed surveys to assess their attitudes, preferences, and concerns regarding this virtual curriculum.
settingThis program was conducted at the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine.
participantsClerkship-level medical students at the Uniformed Services University were included in the program.
resultsNinety-eight percent of the survey respondents reported that the curriculum allowed for individualization of their education; 96% of learners reported that the course improved their fundamental understanding of OBGYN topics; and 88% indicated improved readiness to start or resume their core clerkship after this course.
conclusionA self-paced multi-media approach to medical student OBGYN education allowed for individualized learning and was overall well received. Although this program was designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be utilized as an introductory module for the OBGYN clerkship or to fill gaps for students who may miss clinical time. This course template can be adapted for other specialties.
