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

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is the separate, topic-specific, specialized knowledge of educators that integrates subject matter expertise with effective teaching strategies in response to an identified learner misconception or to optimize teaching. Although PCK has been used for decades as a framework for understanding the often-tacit ability of an educator to educate well, little has been done to bring this framework into medical and health professions education. We provide examples of PCK in various contexts, including large -group lectures, problem-based learning sessions, and bedside teaching. Finally, we present a tool for capturing instances of PCK that can be used to facilitate an educator's self-reflection and development.
