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

backgroundThe Scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is one of the four types of scholarship proposed by Boyer, who emphasized that universities should approach teaching as scholarly work. Studies show that SoTL is an effective tool to improve teaching effectiveness and safeguard educational quality. Enhancing medical teachers' SoTL ability is crucial for improving medical education quality and cultivating innovative medical talents, which directly support New Medical Science construction and ensures the smooth implementation of the Healthy China strategy. However, systematic research on medical teachers' SoTL ability remains limited in China. This study aimed to construct an indicator system of SoTL ability for medical teachers to facilitate evaluation and improvement.

methodsBased on the Grounded Theory method, 20 teachers were interviewed and data were analyzed via NVivo11 to develop a preliminary indicator system. 19 experts then validated the indicator system through Delphi method consultations. SPSS 26.0 was employed to statistically analyze the data to finalize the indicator system of SoTL ability.

resultsThe second-round expert consultation achieved 100% response and validity rates. The expert authority coefficient (Cr = 0.88) and coordination coefficient of importance (W > 0.4, p-value < 0.05,) confirmed strong consensus. The final indicator system was constructed by retaining indicators with a mean score ≥ 4 and a coefficient of variation < 25%, comprising 5 primary indicators, 15 secondary indicators, and 31 tertiary indicators.

conclusionAn indicator system of SoTL ability for medical teachers was constructed to provide theoretical and practical references for evaluating and exploring paths to enhance their SoTL ability.
