Verifying learning success: assessment and certification of student ultrasound education.
Review in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Student ultrasound education (SUSE) is currently composed of heterogeneous curricular training formats, and new approaches are continually being explored to enhance undergraduate ultrasound training. Based on a literature review, this report aims to analyze and compare different forms and methods of assessment of acquired skills in ultrasound training. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of assessment formats and certification systems used in SUSE were discussed collaboratively between medical students, postgraduate physicians, and medical didactics experts. Ultrasound competency should be tested using structured examination formats that are objective and standardized. In addition to cognitive skills, the examination format should cover translational and behavioral components. Self-assessments and evaluations provide additional valuable perspectives. Certification systems can contribute to quality assurance by externally ensuring the achievement of milestones in SUSE. They also have the potential to support the necessary standardization of undergraduate ultrasound teaching by aligning the curricular learning objectives with qualifications to be achieved.
