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

Traditional anatomy education, which primarily relies on two-dimensional imagery, often struggles to effectively convey the complex spatial relationships of human anatomy. Virtual reality and three-dimensional (3D) anatomy models present a promising solution to these limitations. This study investigates the impact of integrating 3D anatomy models into a blended learning framework across pre-class, in-class, and post-class phases. A total of 169 medical students from Xinjiang Medical University were divided into three groups: a control group (Class A,
