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

Learning self-efficacy (SE) assesses how learners understand and evaluate their ability to polish their learning process. Learning clinical medicine requires prolonged training, traditionally premised on longitudinal immersion in patient care. Such a process is domain-specific, whereas learning SE for clinical education remains under-explored. Unidimensional assessment is insufficient for capturing the inherent capabilities upon which well-trained physicians provide care. We aimed to establish a multi-dimensional learning SE questionnaire for clinical education among undergraduate medical students, evaluating the structure validity, followed by assessing the dimensionality of different models.
