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 flipped classroom (FC) model is an effective teaching method that flips traditional teaching process dominated by teachers to students. Few studies have applied the FC model to the radiology residency training.

objectiveThis study analyzed the learning ability, learning efficiency and satisfaction with teaching quality of an FC group of residents (n = 67) and compared the findings with those of a lecture-based (LB) teaching group (n = 60) at the Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the FC model in the radiology residency training. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe retrospective analysis involved students trained in the nervous system sub-group in the university's radiology department between July 2018 and July 2023. The examination scores and subjective evaluations of learning ability and the different teaching models were collected and compared between the two groups.

resultsPractical examination scores were significantly higher in the FC group versus the LB group (83.7 ± 13.46 vs. 77.68 ± 5.53, P = 0.001). The theoretical score between the two groups did not differ appreciably (82.81 ± 11.31 vs. 80.25 ± 10.42, P = 0.320). Subjectively, more residents in FC group believed their learning ability was significant or negligibly improved compared to the LB group (both P < 0.05). The overall satisfaction with the FC teaching model was significantly higher than LB instruction (4.36 ± 0.94 vs. 3.88 ± 0.68, P = 0.008). Average scores of "good teaching", "generic skills", and "appropriate assessment" in the FC group were significantly higher than the scores in the LB group (4.36 ± 0.26 vs. 3.80 ± 0.44, P < 0.001; 4.45 ± 0.47 vs. 3.68 ± 0.65, P = 0.001; and 2.74 ± 0.44 vs. 3.98 ± 0.28, P < 0.001, respectively).

conclusionThe FC teaching model is a feasible and effective approach for radiology residents to enhances their learning ability and efficiency, and improves their satisfaction with teaching quality.
