Medical education abroad: experience and perceived learning effects of German medical students in an international cardiology elective.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
Background: With the aim of increasing study abroad courses the University Clinic for Cardiology and Angiology at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg (Magdeburg, Germany) in collaboration with the Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino (Lugano, Switzerland), established an intensive time-delimited student course to provide cardiological teaching content and insight beyond the regular curriculum. An underlying blueprint with learning objectives was formulated in order to ensure the training outcome. Within the present study, students' individual perceptions of training in Italian-speaking Switzerland are assessed. Methods: Three focus groups discussions with elective graduates were performed ( Results: In total Conclusion: During the course of medical education, intensive courses and teachers' engagement in particular topics can increase a student's enthusiasm for the discipline. Similarly, temporary international experiences may foster interest in a selected area or discipline. Efforts to increase the possibilities in the medical school curriculum for studies abroad might positively influence the educational experience. Consideration may be given to implement such offerings at an earlier juncture to support interested students.
