Perceived Effectiveness and Learning in Foundation Course of Medical Undergraduate Program at Patan Academy of Health Sciences: A Multi Method Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

This study aimed to measure perceived effectiveness of the foundation course of medical students. Methods: A multi method study was conducted among students completing the foundation course at a medical college in Nepal. The perceived effectiveness of foundation course was evaluated by applying three levels of Kirkpatrick's model i.e. reaction (satisfaction), learning and behavior. Quantitative data is presented as frequency, percentage, mean±standard deviation. Qualitative data was analyzed by coding and categorized into different themes and subthemes. Ethical approval was taken from Instutional Review Committee (Reference number: bss 2207081655). Results: A majority of students perceived the foundation course as a memorable experience that helped them to familiarize to new college environment. Students felt that it oriented them to the newer teaching learning and assessment system of the medical college. Assessment scores showed that students had significant learning in foundation course which students perceived applicable in basic and clinical science years. Conclusions: Foundation course learning has been very beneficial and applicable to the students in their medical studies. This course has helped students to get oriented to a new education system and learning environment.
